About Us

Exterior view of Elks Lodge in Lewiston, ID. — Elks Lodge Lewiston, ID #896
Exterior view of Elks Lodge in Lewiston, ID.

Perched above the Snake River on Country Club Drive, Elks Lodge #896 earns its 4.2-star reputation the old-fashioned way: friendly faces at the door, cold drinks at the bar, and a dance floor that fills up every Friday night. Pull up a chair and you'll find members swapping stories with first-time guests like they've known each other for years.

The panoramic views from the lodge are genuinely hard to beat in the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley. Whether you're watching the river catch the last light of the day or catching a live band mid-set, this is the kind of place that earns a second visit. Swap meets, dinners, and community fundraisers cycle through the calendar year-round, keeping the energy fresh and the parking lot busy.

For travelers passing through, the lodge even offers RV hookups with water and electric right on site. Guests who've stayed report rolling down the window, hearing music drift across the lot, and deciding they'd found exactly the right stop. That's the Elks Lodge experience: practical, welcoming, and a little bit better than you expected.

What We Offer

Friday night dances with live bands are the lodge's signature draw, drawing members and guests alike onto a dance floor with real wood underfoot and real musicians on stage. Dinner service runs alongside the entertainment, with a menu built for comfort and crowd-pleasing portions.

Beyond the weekly rhythm, Lodge #896 hosts swap meets, private events, and community fundraisers throughout the year. The banquet and event space can be reserved for gatherings of all sizes, and the full bar keeps things social from happy hour onward.

Travelers with RVs will appreciate the on-site hookups offering water and electric, making this a rare find: a fraternal lodge that doubles as a scenic overnight stop. Elks membership opens additional benefits, but guests and visitors are welcomed warmly at public events regardless of affiliation.

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
