Lake Couer d ' Alene
Northern Idaho Adventures( Couer d ' Alene & Surrounding Areas)
In Coeur d ' Alene, lake life is the name of the game. The crown jewel of the region, Lake Coeur d ' Alene, offers endless opportunities for recreation and relaxation. Rent a paddleboard, kayak, or boat to explore its sparkling blue waters, dotted with scenic coves and quiet bays. Sunset cruises and guided lake tours are also popular for those who prefer to take in the views without paddling.
Just steps from downtown, Tubbs Hill provides a natural escape with its shaded, family-friendly trails and breathtaking overlooks of the lake. It’ s a perfect spot for a morning hike or evening stroll, and its shoreline paths even allow access to small, secluded beaches ideal for a swim or picnic.
If you ' re looking for high-energy fun, head to Silverwood Theme Park, the largest amusement park in the Northwest. With over 70 rides, including roller coasters, water slides, and kid-friendly attractions, it’ s a full day of excitement. The attached Boulder Beach Water Park is a favorite during the warmer months, offering wave pools and lazy rivers to cool off.
Art and culture thrive in downtown Coeur d’ Alene, especially during the Art Walk, held on the second Friday of every month. Stroll through charming streets as local galleries open their doors to showcase regional artists, accompanied by live music and light refreshments.
Whether you ' re after outdoor thrills, cultural experiences, or peaceful nature escapes, Northern Idaho delivers with a laid-back charm and breathtaking scenery around every corner.
