Coeur d’Alene
If you’re after waterfront living but don’t want to sacrifice the comforts of the city, Coeur d’Alene may be the perfect place to search. The City of Coeur d’Alene is a thriving community with all the comforts and conveniences of modern living, but with the charm and warmth of a smaller town.
With over 135 miles of shoreline, Lake Coeur d’Alene offers a wide variety of lake-front property. It is 25 miles long and anywhere from one to three miles wide. From May to September, the average water temperature is 68F, perfect for water activities such as boating, swimming, kayaking, and waterskiing. And if riverfront is more your style, Coeur d’Alene can also offer homes along the scenic Spokane River. Nearby Fernan and Hayden Lakes also feature some beautiful lakefront properties.
If you or your loved ones enjoy fishing, you’ll be happy to find that these lakes are home to large and smallmouth bass, kokanee salmon, and various types of trout. Coeur d’Alene is also just a short drive to numerous rivers where fishing and fly-fishing are top-notch. In addition, throughout December and January, bald eagles come to Lake Coeur d’Alene to feast on spawning kokanee salmon. Thousands of locals and visitors bundle up and head to the lake to view eagles as they tend to their young and dive into the lake to feast on fish.
