Coeur d’Alene River

Two people paddleboarding on Spirit Lake in front of a boat dock, and a shore lined with trees and houses in the background.

Extending from Lake Coeur d’Alene, the Coeur d’Alene River meanders through the historic mining areas of the Silver Valley and various communities, making it worthy of an afternoon of paddling pleasure.

If you care to extend your outing, hike or bike along the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes or reel in a prize catch—the North Fork of the river is a renowned fly-fishing destination.
