Situated lakeside, the town of Coeur d'Alene is at it's busiest when boaters and sun-bathers take to the shores, but there's also hiking and good golfing on offer, as well as easily accessible skiing in winter.
This trail offers a hike through an old cedar grove where giant cedar trees date back to when Columbus landed. The trail winds down under the trees crossing West Fork Eagle Creek several times with rustic, wooden footbridges. The lower part of the trail has recently been improved with the addition of a restroom and extended parking area.
