About this place

This is a very popular and well-used trail system just minutes from Coeur d'Alene and Hayden, Idaho that winds through large trees and grassy understory near the shores of Hayden Lake. The trail system is divided between user groups with one side for hikers and the other for equestrians. The trail is also open in the winter for cross-country skiing and snow shoeing, but motorized use is never allowed. The total distance is about 6 miles with a cumulative elevation gain of about 300 feet. Thanks to a 2019 Eagle Scout project, the trail now has 14 benches, an amphitheater, and a picnic table. From Coeur d'Alene, head north on Highway 95 for about 7 miles. Turn right onto Lancaster Road and continue for 3.5 miles. Turn right onto English Point Road. The trailhead will be on your immediate left.
