Clarksville is a small, quiet community located in Kootenai County, Idaho, United States. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it does not have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it is managed as part of the larger Kootenai County. Clarksville sits right on the southern shore of beautiful Lake Hayden. It is about 6 miles (10 kilometers) north-northeast of a bigger city called Coeur d'Alene.
