One of the major highlights of any visit to North Idaho’s Coeur d’Alene is getting to see the gorgeous lake upon which it sits. Lake Coeur d’Alene is one of the region’s major attractions, boasting all types of recreational opportunities including beaches, hiking trails, and even lake cruises. However, one of the best ways to experience this lake is to stroll along the 3,300-foot waterfront boardwalk at Coeur d’Alene Resort. Considered the longest floating boardwalk in the world, this is a great way to see the lake’s extraordinary beauty up close!

Encircling the marina on Lake Coeur d'Alene is what's officially regarded as the longest floating boardwalk in the entire world. It's part of the Coeur d'Alene Resort hotel, golf, and spa complex, but the boardwalk itself is completely open to the public.

Spanning 3,300-feet across the lake (nearly three quarters of a mile), the boardwalk is certainly an impressive sight on the lake. Not only does it provide access to the marina, but it's also a great place to take in the tremendous lake views!
