Introduction

Coeur d'Alene is a lakeside town in Idaho's panhandle, wrapped around a 40-kilometre lake of the same name, its shores of cedar and quartzite drawing vacationers since the railroad arrived. Once a mining and timber hub, it reinvented itself as an outdoors resort — golf, the world's longest floating boardwalk, lake cruises and a ski hill above town. The Coeur d'Alene Resort's gondola and the nearby Tubbs Hill trails frame the water. A quintessential Inland Northwest retreat where mountain lake and small-town ease meet.
