Play a round at this beautiful golf course with spectacular views and a relaxed atmosphere.
Reviewed By Jane S - Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
We had gone to this golf club/restaurant several times in the past and for whatever reason, had been absent for a time. We returned there a month of so ago and we have gone back now several times. The menu is varied and we have enjoyed everything from pizza to meatloaf to fish and chips to steak. If you can go on a "non-tournament" evening, it's quiet and easy to converse with your companions. Parking is right at the door and food and service are good.

Lovely place to visit, lots of walking trails and beautiful all seasons of the year. Great to run or bike through or visit with kids. There are ponds with frogs, turtles, fish and geese. No catching animals or fishing, but super fun. Great in the fall when leaves are everywhere.

We recently stayed at the Tripleplay Resort with my family and friends. We love this place! We come here once or twice a year and we always have a blast! The kids love the waterslide at Raptor Reef indoor water park and the go carts and bumper cars are always a hit. The arcade is so much fun. The kids love playing every game so they can get enough tickets to get great prizes!

Fed by waters from three different rivers, this pristine, 30-mile lake offers just about every water sport imaginable.

My wife and I woke up this past Sunday to a beautiful Sunny day with the temps in the 50's for the first time in awhile and instead of going fishing, we decided to jump in the 69 Corvette and cruise on up to Coeur d'Alene Lake "Just Because" it was so nice out and she really needed to unwind after a very heck-tick weekend. We arrived at the lake and spent over an hour just walking around, walking over the extended pier that overlooks the lake, and just enjoying nature. We then proceeded to walk around and visit some of the local stores, one of which sells a bunch of Irish items. While in the store I picked up a big green Irish beer hat for the upcoming holiday. After doing some local shopping, we relaxed and ate lunch at a local restaurant and got to know some of the locals and visitors to the area. It was a very very pleasant and fun relaxing afternoon. After getting home my wife thanked me for the wonderful day, and I for her company. All in All a great .... Just Because day...I highly recommend you try it someday!

This 22-mile paved trail is part of the Idaho Centennial Trail, which passes through 11 national forests and extends 1,200 miles from Nevada to the Canadian border.
Reviewed By delyn35 - Placerville, California
Walked the trail from town to Hampton Inn, took an hour. Plenty of sand, water, boats and folks along the way. Have water and good shoes for the trail, it is concrete. Stop at the sign along the way to read about the hobos.
Very pleasant walk on this stretch.

Offering a taste of the wilderness in downtown Coeur d'Alene, this self-guided two-mile trail loop has historical points along the way as well as several great viewing areas.
Reviewed By Benjamin M - Coeur d'Alene
Maybe its the best place in Idaho. It might be my favorite place in the world, but I'm biased, since I grew up walking distance from there. Go find yourself a little beach by yourselves or go jump off the rocks into the lake or just take a hike on the many trails and you will see what I mean. Any time of year, just go. Pick up a little bit of litter if you see it and bring it back with you to throw it away in the parking lot garbage cans. Keep it beautiful. Tubbs Hill is one of my best friends and will be there for me and for you.

My 3 daughters ages 8-15 went for a trail ride today at Bridal Path. It was fabulous! As soon as we arrived we knew we were somewhere special. It was such a beautiful facility in a remarkable setting. I can tell they work incredibly hard to keep everything clean and horses well taken care of. Megan was a wonderful trail guide. The property (600+ acres) is so peaceful and just beautiful. We loved our horses. My girls were all smiles the ENTIRE time...and now they want riding lessons. It really was magical for them. I would highly recommend Bridal Path Quarter Horses. We really loved it.

Fantastic Belgium brews in a relaxing setting with perfect chill out ambiance and a very knowledgeable staff that knows what is brewed and how to accurately describe the unique flavor profiles of each beer. The owner is very welcoming and inviting and not pretensious at all. They spent a good amount of time end planning on creating a unique Belgium decor that takes you right across the atlantic and makes you feel like you are sipping a quad right from the motherland.
Best craft brew in CDA area and even Spokane. They have some hidden gems here so if you like Belgium's whatever you do, don't pass this place by it's worth the 20 minute trip from Spokane.

We spent a wonderful summer day here while visiting Coeur d'Alene. The park seems very modern, beautifully landscaped, and clean. Excellent wheelchair access. I think it was ingenious to make an underground parking facility; it frees up space for recreation and we don't have to look at an acre of vehicles. The park is located on the north shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene in downtown, so it offers a variety of activities. The park itself has large lawn areas for picnics or play, a dog park for your best friend, a massive playground (ADA) with water features, tennis and basketball courts, paved walkways, a Veterans Memorial and public art, and restrooms. It's adjacent to the public library, the Tubbs Hill natural area that offers hiking trails, the City Beach for swimming, and a marina that provides boat cruises on the lake or watercraft rentals. Refreshments are available from concessions in the park or several restaurants within walking distance. The 2.3 mile Mudgy Moose hide-and-seek trail for children and the 23-mile North Idaho Centennial Trail both pass through the park. Several local shops offer bicycle rentals. While you are there, watch for the ospreys that nest in the area.

A sandy beach great for picnics and outdoor sports.
Reviewed By 3Gutchesses - Greenville, South Carolina
We visited the area for a conference. The park was having "Art on the Green" and it was very well attended. The park was beautiful with nearby beaches where families were swimming and playing. It seemed to be a perfect spot for relaxing and exercising, (even thought it was very hot when we visited, and the Arts event was crowding the regulars I'm sure) it was obviously well cared for. We enjoyed it very much.
