Lake Coeur d'Alene is one of the most beautiful lakes in the American West, a 25-mile-long glacial lake in the Idaho Panhandle. The crystal-clear water and forested shoreline create a stunning fishing environment.

Chinook salmon are the premier target, with the lake's landlocked population producing fish exceeding 20 pounds. Cutthroat trout provide action near the surface, while smallmouth and largemouth bass inhabit the warmer shallows and docks. Northern pike have become established and offer trophy-size catches. Multiple public launches provide access around the lake.
