‘SnakePit’ eatery, great RV Short Stop when traveling along I-90 in north Idaho

SnakepitOutside_JulianneGCraneOne of the fun aspects of RV travel is having the freedom to take advantage of the serendipity–as in stumbling onto a place that has a fascinating history, decent food and easy access to a bicycle or walking path.

The SnakePit (also known as the Evaville Resort) is such a find. Just 1.5 miles off I-90 in north Idaho, the former railroad layover is only a few yards from the fantastic 71-mile Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes paved path that follows the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way from Mullan, a mountain mining town near the Montana border, to Plummer, a town on the prairie near the Washington border.

This colorful piece of history dates back to the early 1800s, and is open 7-days a week, year-round.

Directions: From I-90, take the Kingston Exit 43, turn north and drive 1.5 miles up the beautiful Coeur d’Alene River, the SnakePit is on the right.
