Pine-ringed blue water in the Panhandle.
This 25-mile lake is the heart of North Idaho summers. The lakeside city offers a long floating boardwalk, beaches and lake cruises, while quieter bays to the south are known for bald eagles in winter. The Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes, a 73-mile paved bike path, runs nearby.
