Things To Do
EAT: Dockside Restaurant
We get breakfast here when we're in town... pair lake views with our favorite, their Avocado Toast! Open to the public, Dockside also serves lunch and breakfast.
EAT: Jimmy's Down the Street
On the main drag, this is your classic diner spot serving breakfast and lunch in a fun environment.
EAT: Roger's Burgers
Your quintessential burger and ice cream hut for walk up and delicious bites on the run. Open till 10pm, this has great night options as well.
EAT: Tito's Italian Grill
Italian food lovers will love the vibe and food here!
EAT: Shiki Sushi
This is a very popular sushi spot right downtown for all our sushi lovers. Open for lunch and dinner.
EAT: Three Fifteen Cuisine at the Greenbriar Inn
Craft cocktails, a delicious menu with a swanky vibe... we love this secret spot in CDA.
EAT: The Cedars Floating Restaurant
If you're looking for a one of kind experience to CDA, this is it! With fresh seafood and steak, this restaurant has you floating on Lake Coeur D'Alene. Dinner only from 3pm-9pm.
PLAY & EAT: Big Red's Barn Petting Zoo and Cafe
Big Red Barn offers an indoor petting zoo, educational classes and coming late March, a Brazilian Cafe titled the Capy Hour Cafe, with capybaras you can feed. We fully plan on doing this! They require reservations and have limited hours but at only $15 a person this would be a fun activity for all. Please check their site for more information.
PLAY: Tubbs Hill/McEuen Park
Located right next to The Resort, Tubbs Hill features several miles of hiking trails that provide spectacular scenery for everyone to enjoy. Check out the map to find your route in this 165 acre natural park. The entrance to Tubbs Hill is McEuen Park, which features the largest playground in the area and a large grassy area to lay in the sun and take in the views. Parking is nearby for a small charge.
PLAY: The Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course and famous Floating Green
Home to the famous floating green on 14, this golf course offers stunning views of the lake at almost every hole. If you're staying at The Resort inquire about the golf packages they offer. The Resort also offers shuttles with booked tee times.
PLAY: Circling Raven Golf Club
A little outside of town, Circling Raven is one of John's favorite courses that he's played. And this course was rated the #1 golf course in Idaho by Golfweek Magazine. If you have time it also has a casino!
PLAY: The Spa at The Resort
If getting pampered is your thing, the Coeur D'Alene Resort Spa offers massages, facials, and treatments, as well as passes to other amenities.
PLAY: Brooke's Seaplane Service
Explore Lake Coeur D'Alene via a seaplane tour. We did this and enjoyed every second and every view. The 45 minute Lake Flight takes you across the entire lake, showcasing large celebrity homes, wetlands, and well known bays. If you're lucky you may even spot wildlife. Sadly, the Bride does not own this company, but she really likes the name! :)
PLAY: Lake Coeur d'Alene Cruises
If you want to actually get out on the water, this is a great option. Find a public cruise time and hop aboard.
PLAY: Tour CDA
Tour CDA features tours and rentals... ranging from eBike rentals to segways and scooters. If you're wanting to actually bike without the e-assist check out CDA Bike Company (www.cdabikeco.com).
SHOP: Cisco's Antique Shop
A MUST DO! Cisco’s carries one-of-a-kind pieces that define America and the Wild West. They collect diverse pieces from multiple eras and cultures, including historic artifacts, antiques, fine art, and western home furnishings. Or if you're in the market for a stuffed Grizzly Bear, this is your spot. We spent almost 2 hours taking in all the items Cisco's has to offer. While it has a high price point, it can be treated like a museum and you still won't see all they have to offer. We could not recommend popping in here more if we tried.
SHOP: The Shops at The Resort
Located behind The Resort, this indoor plaza has multiple shops to explore, including CDA insignia from stickers to T-shirts. Best place to find a keepsake for your time in town!
