City park is located right on the bike path. It is the place to be in the summer. It's the lively heart of the lake, offering a swim beach, basketball courts, picnic shelter, grills, drinking fountains, and sand volleyball courts. A fantastic spot to stop and get some lake vibes!

There are a handful of different trails in the Canfield Butte area of Idaho Panhandle National Forest, and a lot of them have pretty simple names. Trail 1 is the main trail heading towards West Canfield Butte and is one of the most trafficked trails in the area. This is a really pretty forest trail with sporadic views of the foothills and city behind.

The actual summit of West Canfield Butte is locked in the trees and doesn't even have a path to it, but this viewpoint is on a little bald spot at almost the same elevation on the mountain. You get an awesome view of Coeur d'Alene from here, but you also get some views of the city and a forest scene basically the entire hike up the mountain.
