Coeur d'Alene is located in northern Idaho, on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene, about 30 miles east of Spokane, Washington. While there are more than 55 lakes within easy driving distance of Coeur d’Alene, none are more scenic and full of activities than Lake Coeur d’Alene itself. The city is known for its stunning lake views, outdoor recreation, and vibrant downtown area. Coeur d’Alene’s luxurious lakeside lifestyle offers a world-renowned golf course and floating green, boating, fishing, and outdoor activities galore.
Go biking, hiking, or just relax on the beach. Go water skiing, sailing, swimming, or paddleboarding. Stroll along the Coeur d'Alene Boardwalk offering gorgeous lake and mountain views, or if you're up for an adrenaline rush, try ziplining through the forest with views of the lake. Downtown, enjoy over 100 shops and restaurants or explore North Idaho’s History Museum. You can also take a mining tour and pan for gold, visit Idaho’s oldest mission, or even a bordello museum!
If you want more thrills, Silverwood Theme Park is just a short drive away, featuring roller coasters, water slides, a wave pool, and family-friendly attractions. Boasting everything from mesmerizing waterfalls to finger-lickin’ foodie finds, the small towns in this part of the state offer plenty of adventures that are worthy of your itinerary. The night comes alive in and around Coeur d’Alene with many indoor and outdoor live performances. Local and regional bands can be found pretty much any night at the local watering holes. Try out some local craft brews or wines, or try your hand at the local casino.
