Conservation Note
Operators use controlled group sizes and established platforms to minimize trail erosion and practice Leave No Trace; guests are asked to stick to marked areas to protect understory and water quality.
The Coeur d’Alene basin was long occupied by the Schitsu'umsh people and later drew miners in the 19th century; the lake’s shoreline reflects both Indigenous and mining-era histories.
Photographer's Notes
