Review:
Coeur d'Alene in Idaho lies nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains and covers about 30,000 acres of space. The lake was formed by a glacier, and it is a recreational paradise. There are opportunities for hiking, swimming, camping, and golfing near the lake, and fishing enthusiasts can join other hopeful fishermen each morning in the search for chinook and kokanee salmon. Fly fishing is also popular, and those who wade into the shockingly cold alpine waters may find cutthroat trout and rainbow trout. There are also opportunities for dock fishing, as well as fishing from a boat, of course. Several cruise boat tours operate on Lake Coeur D’Alene, and experienced divers can even look for old Ford Model Ts that now reside at the bottom of the lake.
