Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes
Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes
Endless scenery & wildlife
The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes bike path follows the Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way from Mullan, a mountain mining town near the Montana border, to Plummer, a town on the prairie near the Washington border. More than 73 miles of paved path takes you from high mountain splendor, through the historic Silver Valley, into the chain lakes region, along the shore of Lake Coeur d'Alene, over the Chatcolet Bridge to Heyburn State Park, and finally climbs to the Palouse prairie.
An adventure for the entire family!
“We've done bike tours all over the world, but can't say enough about this trail. Gorgeous scenery, excellent surface, clear signage, restrooms, and benches, all along the route.”

“This is a fabulous easy bike trail that can be a long day ride or several day trips. The trail passes a beautiful lake, miles of rivers and marshes, and wonderful habitat. Moose are up close and personal ... and can be a bit too close when they pop up on the trail and surprise you.”
WF, Colorado Resident
“Spotted beaver lodges, moose, swans, geese, and great grey herons over 2 days. The trail is paved and well cared for. It is the best bike trail we have ever traveled. Wonderful experience!”
