DeSmet sits on the western edge of the Coeur d'Alene Reservation in Benewah County, a community with deep roots in the region's Jesuit missionary history — Father Pierre de Smet, for whom the town is named, brought Catholicism to the inland Northwest in the mid-1800s. Plummer, the tribal headquarters for the Coeur d'Alene Tribe and the county's second largest town, is approximately 5 miles to the north on US-95 for basic services. Heyburn State Park — established in 1908 as the oldest state park in the Northwest and the largest in Idaho at 5,500 land acres — lies roughly 11 miles away and encompasses Benewah, Hidden, and Chatcolet Lakes along the southern arm of Lake Coeur d'Alene, offering camping, boating, fishing, and one of North America's largest nesting osprey populations. St. Maries, the Benewah County seat with full services, is approximately 20 miles to the east, and Coeur d'Alene is roughly 50 miles to the north via US-95.
