Affectionately known as the "Lake City," Coeur d'Alene is located on the northern end of Idaho, between two major ski resorts and beside the scenic 30-mile long Lake Coeur d'Alene. Named for a fort founded by General Sherman in the 1870s, the city is a popular destination for golf enthusiasts, with the nearby world-famous Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course set right on the shore of the scenic lake.
With an increase in tourism bringing visitors to this quaint Idaho city, it has undergone major expansion and now houses a campus of the University of Idaho. Providing opportunities for main street shopping, whitewater rafting, fishing and skiing, Coeur d'Alene is a city for both urban relaxation and rugged outdoor adventure.
