What to Do: Year round popular & hidden gems

For the Adventurer & Solo Traveler

  • The Floating Green: Challenge yourself at the Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course. It’s a bucket-list experience for any golfer.

  • Tubbs Hill: A 120-acre lakeside park with rugged hiking trails and secluded "cliff-jumping" spots or quiet coves for a private swim.

  • Winter Magic: Take a 45-minute flight or drive to Schweitzer Mountain or Silver Mountain for world-class skiing and the state's largest indoor waterpark.

For Families

  • Lake Cruises: Take a sunset dinner cruise or the "Journey to the North Pole" cruise during the holidays to see one of the largest on-the-water light displays in the world.

  • Silverwood Theme Park: Located just 20 minutes north, it’s the largest theme park in the Northwest—a massive hit for kids in the summer.

  • Mudgy & Millie Trail: A fun, city-wide scavenger hunt based on a local children's book that leads families through the best parks and libraries in town.

Lesser-Known Gems

  • The Route of the Hiawatha: A short drive away, this is arguably the most scenic rail-to-trail bike path in the US, featuring ten tunnels and seven sky-high trestles.

  • Lake Fernan: Just over the hill from the main lake, this smaller body of water is a quiet sanctuary for fishing and kayaking away from the summer boat traffic.
