Lake Coeur d'Alene is a popular tourist site for many people during the summer, offering great beaches and scenic views. A seasonal hobby of some local residents is viewing the bald eagles as they feed on the kokanee in the lake, mainly from the Wolf Lodge Bay. The North Idaho Centennial Trail, popular among cyclists, walkers, and joggers, follows along the lake's north and northeastern shore. The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes also runs along the southern shores.
Lake Coeur d'Alene and the surrounding North Idaho alpine hills and mountains are at the heart of the magical location in which The Coeur d'Alene Resort rests.
Lake Coeur d'Alene sports and water activities abound in the summer months where lake water temperatures can reach a cool, yet comfortable 74 degrees. The lake provides an excellent aquatic atmosphere for waterskiing, jet skiing, parasailing, paddle boarding, kayaking and more.

Visit Instructions:
Because of the vastness of many of the "non-localized" sites (Gobi Desert, Great Wall of China), waymark owners are encouraged to allow visits that reflect different perspectives and experiences.
Localized waymark sites (Structures, Landmarks, Businesses) should reflect standard waymarking visit criteria (Logs & photos).
