May 2011FloodRose Lake$500Flooding of the Coeur D Alene River resulted in several roads being inundated with water between Rose Lake and Cataldo. Approximately three-quarters of a mile of Rose Creek Road from Highway 3 had nearly a foot and a half of water over it and was closed for several days. A mile of Dudley Road, just west of Cataldo, was under a foot of water. The community of Rose Lake itself at Highway 3 experienced some backflow from the Coeur D Alene River, causing a slight build-up of water up to some houses foundations. The west end of King Street in Rose Lake was completely covered in water. One resident living at the end of King Street reported having as much as three to four feet of water against his foundation. The only damage to his property was to sheetrock in his garage.
April 2012FloodRose Lake-Multiple roads flooded, including East Dudley Road, Latour Creek Road and Riverview Drive in Cataldo. Kahnderosa Campground along Latour Creek Road was flooded and water across Dudley Road left some residents stranded. One resident on East Dudley Road estimated about three feet of water was over the road at one point. No damage was reported.
