Coeur d'Alene Lake

Beautiful Coeur d'Alene Lake

 
The Gem of Idaho
Cited by National Geographic as "one of the five most beautiful in the world", Coeur d'Alene Lake's 109 mile shoreline provides ample opportunity for outdoor fun. Sander's Beach in Coeur d'Alene has long been preferred by locals for the quality sand and solitude it provides.
 
 
The History of the name "Coeur d'Alene".

 

Lake Coeur d'Alene on a summer day
The name "Coeur d'Alene" comes from a French colloquial expression "Heart of an Awl". French fur trappers coming down from Canada and trading with the local Indians were reputed to utter this saying in dismay when Indian traders frequently drove such hard bargains for their furs, that the French came away in tears.

Many visitors staying at Katie's Wild Rose Inn enjoy taking a morning walk on the 1.75 mile rugged nature walk from Sander's Beach to downtown Coeur d'Alene.
