trail of the coeur d'alenes印象

Rode approx. 20.5 miles out from the Plummer Trailhead and back, total of approx. 40. Beautiful day and beautiful trail. I want to ride the entire thing in mid Sept. but I'm concerned about not having enough water. Should be a great time.

The trail is a lovely paved path on an old railway bed. The scenery along the whole route is varied and full of water birds, beautiful vistas and interesting places to stop. We enjoyed it very much. The hospitality of people we met along the way was exceptional. A great ride.

This great trail was once a rail travelling over 72 miles from Plummer, Idaho to Mullan, Idaho. Very well kept asphalt trail with trail heads along the way plus picnic benches and restrooms. It follows the Coeur d'Alene river near Cataldo to the Coeur d'Alene lake by Harrison and along and across the lake. Beautiful views all the way. The east end climbs along I90 so there is some road noise but the climb is gentle. Lots of fun!

We walked 30 kilometers of the trail and had a lovely time. The wild flowers were in bloom so I was constantly snapping pictures. I loved that rest stops were strategically placed along the trail too!

Biked 28 miles RT on this trail in mid September from Medimont to Harrison and then South for about 3 more miles. There are a few restrooms en route and different places to begin your trip. The trail is paved, free and has a variety of scenery. While it's not spectacular, it is very pleasant scenery, passing farms, ponds, rivers and ultimately going alongside the lake. There is some shade -- maybe about 35% on this stretch. We encountered a number of people but it wasn't crowded, and Harrison has a few services if you need to stop and grab a bite. On a former railroad grade, it's easy cycling. We were a little concerned reading about the toxic waste put down in the pavement surface in the rail bed, but there was no noticeable pollution and plenty of wildlife -- even saw a moose. We would certainly say it was a great way to spend a nice day outdoors. It's a very nice area with many biking options.

Lovely ride from Plummer to Mullen Idaho along Lake Coeur d'Alane and up the Silver Valley. Well maintained paved trail hugs the lake and then rambles along the Coelur d'Alane river for a total of 72 miles of wonderful scenery. Wildlife abounds--on our trip we saw bald eagles, herons, deer and moose. Wallace and Kellogg are interesting old mining towns. All in all a great ride.

We enjoyed a couple of days staying in campgrounds and riding our bikes on the beautiful trail of the Coeur d'Alenes. We spent one night camping in Pinehurst, Idaho at the By The Way Campground. It was $25 per night and comfortable for full RV hookups. The hot showers are really nice after a day of riding bikes. The next night we camped at the Kahnderosa Campground near Cataldo, Idaho. It was $30 per night, nice location on the river. The restrooms and showers are more rustic than modern and only a few campsites are full hookup. There is a RV dump station on-site. The trail is very convenient to either of these campgrounds. Since it is a railroad bed and paved, it is a very pleasant effortless ride. We had previously stayed at Heyburn State Park and rode the trail to above Harrison, Idaho.Contact the folks at Friends of Coeur d'Alene trail for detailed map and lodging information. I speculate that Harrison, Idaho would be a nice home base for exploring the trail. Wallace, Idaho is another fine destination. Be prepared for beautiful scenery, moose, history and relaxation. Be aware that moose, especially the mom's, can be aggressive. Take your picture and calmly back away. Attacks occur. The trail is over 70 miles in length, but can be broken up into easily manageable sections if desired. Shuttle services exist through most of the trail that is accessible by road. We saw only a total of 10 people on the trail during our two day trip. We rode about 50 miles in mid-September. Enjoy!

No need to worry about cars on this wilderness paved bike trail. The only thing we had to stop to avoid was a moose! We even rode past pelicans! The first day we rode from Harrison along the lake, then across the lake on the FUN "roller coaster" bridge up the forested grade to Plummer and back. The distance is about 50kms. There is a good campsite on the lake within a short walk to the well deserved (and good) pubs and restaurants. The second day we drove to Black Rock so we could bike into Harrison for lunch then bike back to the car. This distance is also about 50kms. The ride follows a series of lakes away from roads. If you are interested in birds, you will like this section. You can ride all the way to Mullan (east of Kellog and Wallace, Idaho). This trail is a hidden gem!

What a great way to use the old railbeds and tie them into this wonderful trail, the scenery is beyond description and I look forward to using it again and again. Follows lakes, rivers, the wildlife viewing a the best I have seen in a very long time.

We come every summer for a week to ride this trail. Moose in the morning, swimming in the river at noon, and mosquitoes at dusk.If you want incredible scenery, friendly people, and a smooth, paved trail, this is one to not miss.We like the section from the Pine Creek (Pinehurst) trailhead to Cataldo. More shade, swimming holes, and wildlife. The ride to Wallace is fun (don't miss the espresso stand near the 76 gas station in Osburn) but not nearly as scenic. The stretch from Harrison to Rose Lake is beautiful but sunny.And kids will love the bridge over CDA lake.Definitely worth a week or two. Every summer.
