Coeur d'Alene, ID - Lake Tour and Park

There is a park on the waterfront that is very family friendly. I couldn't help but think about my grandchildren when I saw these boys playing in the fountain just up from the beach. In the second picture, look closely, there is a moose. There are statues of moose throughout the city, just like Athens has their Bulldog.


We took a boat tour today of Lake Coeur d'Alene. This is the resort on the Lake and the boat we took.

There were such a variety of homes along the banks of the river. Some were very elaborate, some log cabin type, houseboats...all of them have a fabulous view of an amazing body of water.





The landscape along the shore line was amazing. I took a lot of pictures and here are just a few.




Along our tour, we saw a golf course with a floating green. It was difficult to get a good shot of the green with the boat rocking but believe me, it is there. You make your shot towards this green. Then you take a boat ride to get to the green to putt. There are lots of balls lost in the water but they are retrieved weekly.




Following our boat tour, we walked along the waterfront and saw some beautiful wooden boats that will be on display this weekend
