    The location is a beautiful and provides a wonderful place to enjoy lake activities, hiking, and many outdoor activities. The lake is perfect for both motorized and non-motorized activities like kayaking, paddle boarding and more! The views from the lake are spectacular and the Coeur d'Alene Resort provides many special activities all year long, such as the Festival of Trees, 4th of July Fireworks, and Santa Cruise to see Santa.

    Love Coeur'd Alene! One of the best cities in Idaho! The lake is the best stop in town and walking around the longest boardwalk in the world is a must! Also stop downtown at all the gift shops and eateries, you will not regret it! If you go to the resort, you must get a delicious GOOEY dessert from Dockside. Coeur d' Alene is the best and I am so glad to call it home.
    I enjoy walking by the lake in Coeur d'Alene in the summer, hiking all over Tubbs Hill, and spending time with family and friends. If there was something I could change, it would be to retain the free 2 hours of parking. The city has a great newer park with broad expanses of grassy field, a large covered pavilion, a Police memorial fountain, a Veteran’s memorial area. The park also features vast concrete courtyard, but it needs to start having vendors parked there selling exotic cuisine during summer.
