Coeur d'Alene Travel Information
Coeur d'Alene (pop. 30,000) is a growing town in the Idaho panhandle,
on the shores of beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene. The spectacular scenery
and convenient access from northwestern states has helped this town
become a popular resort destination. Named after the Native American
people of the region, the town of Coeur d'Alene began as a US Army
fort before becoming a community center for trappers, traders, and
prospectors around the dawn of the 20th century. Today, the scenic
skyline is dominated by the Coeur d'Alene Resort, an 18 story resort
hotel with lush accommodations, a large marina, and curiosities such
as a golf course with a floating green. During the warm summer
months, boat trips on the lake, hiking on wooded Tubbs Hill, or
camping in any of the three nearby national forests are popular
activities. Visitors to the high-class resort enjoy several golf
courses and quality restaurants. In winter Coeur d'Alene settles down,
becoming less crowded and adopting a quiet, tranquil beauty all its
own. Several nearby ski areas make the town a good base for those who
love the slopes. Coeur d'Alene is located in northern Idaho along
Interstate 90. For more information about Coeur d'Alene, please select
