| Lake Coeur d'Alene | |
| The greater Coeur d'Alene area is home to a number of glacial lakes, but none more spectacular than Lake Coeur d'Alene itself. Named by National Geographic as one of the 5 most beautiful lakes in the world, Lake Coeur d'Alene is over 25 miles long, with nearly 135 miles of shoreline. Surrounded by breath-taking views of pine-covered hills and rocky bluffs, the lake has long been a destination for travelers seeking the tranquil solace of quiet surroundings. Following the construction of the Coeur d'Alene resort in 1986, the lake gained international acclaim. Also home to the first pair of water skis, test-driven back in 1920, Lake Coeur d'Alene offers its visitors plenty of activities in which to participate. Fishing, boating, hiking, and lying on the sandy beach at the north end of the lake are just some of the many options available to outdoor enthusiasts. Home to the largest population of osprey in the Western U.S., and winter home of migrating bald eagles, this beautiful lake offers ample opportunity to avid bird-watchers as well. At the south end of the lake is Heyburn State Park. This pristine, 5,500-acre park is home to the St. Joe River, a tree-lined waterway rich with bird and animal life.
