Explore Cascade, Idaho, in an RVshare RV Rental

Cascade, Idaho is located on the southeast shore of what is now called Lake Cascade. However, the lake is actually a reservoir that was formed by the completion of the Cascade Dam on the north side of the city. Construction of the dam began in 1942 but was halted during World War II and then finally completed in 1948. When the Tamarack Resort was built across the reservoir to the northwest in 2004, the name of Cascade Reservoir was officially changed to Cascade Lake in order to avoid the negative marketing connotations frequently associated with reservoirs. Until May 2001, Cascade was also the home of a sizable sawmill operated by the Boise Cascade Corporation. 

In 1977, in the early hours of Sunday, November 27, a minor earthquake measuring 4.5 on the Richter scale and lasting more than a full minute was felt all across the region but centered near Cascade. Some foundational damage occurred, but the area was largely left intact.
