Two float airplanes are docked at Lake Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, at sunset.
Lake Coeur d'Alene is a dam-controlled lake in northern Idaho, in the northwest United States. Its northern end is in the city of Coeur d'Alene. It spans 25 miles (40 km) in length and ranges from 1 to 3 miles (5 km) wide with over 109 miles (175 km) of shoreline.
The lake is a popular tourist destination, with a boardwalk, beaches and scenic views.
The lake was named after the Coeur d'Alene people, a Native American nation and one of five federally recognized tribes in the state of Idaho. The Coeur d'Alene have sovereign control of their Coeur d'Alene Reservation, which includes a significant portion of Lake Coeur d'Alene and its submerged lands.
Lake Coeur d'Alene, like other lakes surrounding the Spokane Valley and Rathdrum Prairie, was formed by the Missoula Floods,most recently 12,000 to 15,000 years ago.
