One of the 10 most beautiful lakes in the world according to National Geographic. Live looking at it every day and never get tired of the beauty. Enjoy it with the fireworks exploding overhead each time there is a town celebration. A great place to live.

Wonderful to look at, but we don't swim in it because of the old mining run off.

If you're in town, stop by the Boardwalk Marina at the Coeur d'alene Resort, they have beautiful boats you can rent and go explore this gem of a lake!
