Whatever distance you choose, your ride could have you pedaling past lakes, along a wild river, through small towns, and past wetlands and woods teaming with birds and other wildlife.

Recently named one of the top 25 trails in the United States by the Rails to Trails Conservancy, the trail extends from the towns of Plummer to Mullan.

Wetlands along much of the route afford the opportunity to see many species of birds, including eagles, swans, hawks, owls, and migrating songbirds. Frequently-sighted wildlife along the trail include coyotes, deer, moose, and elk.

For more info on riding the trail, read past articles about the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes from the OTO archives.

For over four decades, ROW Adventures has been leading people on guided outdoor adventures here in the Inland Northwest and around the world. While the Coeur d’Alene-based company is most well-known locally for guided whitewater trips, ROW recently started offering fully-guided bike tours here in the Inland Northwest.

This new service includes several options for multi-day bike tours on trails like the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes with the potential to link up to the Route of the Hiawatha and other North Idaho rail trail routes. These new tours will no-doubt be a hit with cyclists from around the world looking to explore the region’s truly world-class rail trail network, but they are also a great option for local cyclists who may not be comfortable with a self-supported multi-day bike tour.

Some of the biggest challenges for any DIY bike tour are the shuttle and having to haul all your own gear. ROW’s guided trips include meal stops, a sag wagon (van) providing support if riders need it, and comfortable hotel lodging each night. The tours also come with knowledgeable guides who can help you learn about the places you’re pedaling past, and is a great option for people who want to focus on the ride and get a good night’s rest each night.

Check out all of ROW’s bike tour options, including the Bitterroot Bonanza that includes biking, rafting, and kayaking in the same week, at Rowadventures.com/biking.

73-miles of Paved, Mostly Flat Pathway Make for Fun and Easy Riding

The Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes, named one of the 25 top trails in the nation by the Rails to Trails Conservancy in 2010, is one of the longest paved biking trails in the Northwest. Much of the trail is flat with frequent restrooms and wayside rest stops, making it the perfect biking destination for anyone looking for a trip with several days’ worth of easy-to-moderate enjoyable bike rides.

Stretching across the Idaho Panhandle between the towns of Plummer and Mullan, the trail takes riders past lakes, along a wild river, and through woods and wetlands with frequent wildlife sightings. Riding the trail, which is designated a state park, is a unique experience during all seasons, although the cooler daytime temps, fewer people on the trails, and typically smoke-free skies make autumn one of the best seasons to plan a visit.

Completing the full, 73-mile trail length all in one day is too daunting for many riders, but it’s easy to take on several shorter sections of trail between trailheads or towns. Here are three of the most scenic sections that will make for perfect out-and-back or shuttled rides. Take a look at the interactive digital trail map here and plan to spend anywhere from a long weekend to a full week exploring this incredible corner of the Northwest. For shuttle options, contact the Cycle Haus Bikes & Brews, Lou’s Bicycle Shuttle Service, or Wallace Inn. The Silver Express Bus, which runs from Kingston to Mullan weekdays 3 times per day is another free shuttle option. 

Harrison to Lake Chatcolet (8 to 16 miles)

This trail section travels along the sparkling waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene’s southeast shoreline. At one end is Heyburn State Park, where the bike trail crosses over Lake Coeur d’Alene along a former railroad draw-bridge, which marks the boundary with Lake Chatcolet. At the state park day-use area, you’ll find a trailhead restroom, picnic shelter, and water spigot (some facilities may be closed depending on the season). At the other end of this route is the charming, historic lake town of Harrison with a city park, beach, marina, shopping/dining services, and a bike shop with shuttle service. Ride this section as a 16-mile out-and-back adventure or a more mellow 8-mile pedal with a shuttle.

Harrison to the Chain Lakes of the Coeur d’Alene River (multiple distances)

Starting from the Harrison trailhead right in town, enjoy the serenity of nature as the trail travels along the Coeur d’Alene River, passing a series of small lakes connected to the river by narrow channels. Moose, deer, and many types of birds are frequently seen along this section of trail through the Coeur d’Alene River Wildlife Management Area.

There are four trailheads along this stretch, including Springston, Medimont, Blackrock, and Bull Run with access near Harrison from Highway 3, making it easy to choose the perfect length ride. The full distance between the towns of Harrison and Cataldo that bookend this section of trail is 20 miles and can also make for a great day ride with a shuttle.

Cataldo to Enaville (10 miles or longer)

This flat, tree-shaded section of trail along the Coeur d’Alene River connects two small towns with post-ride dining options. The trailhead in Enaville at the I-90 Kingston Exit is a short drive from lodging in nearby Kellogg and Wallace too. Near the small town of Enaville, the Coeur d’Alene River splits into the North and South forks, and the trail keeps heading east along the South Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River. For those looking for a longer, shuttleable ride from Cataldo it’s 11.5 miles to Kellogg and Silver Mountain Resort and 23 miles to the historic mining town of Wallace, which is a rare city that is entirely listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Also worth a visit, the Sacred Heart Mission, at the Coeur d’Alene’s Old Mission State Park near Cataldo, is the oldest standing building in Idaho. Constructed in the early 1850s, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Because the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes doesn’t directly connect with the state park, you can either drive there or ride from the Cataldo Trailhead on low-traffic side roads (take E Canyon Road to Dredge Road and then on to the park). 

Extend Your Ride with an Electric-assist E-bike

Electric-assist bicycles, which provide an electric motor boost in addition to the rider’s pedaling, are allowed on the full length of the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes. The e-bike rules for the trail allow both Class I e-bikes that provide electric motor assistance only when the rider is pedaling and Class II e-bikes that provide electric motor assistance with a throttle even when the rider isn’t pedaling. Class III e-bikes that continue assisting a rider to higher speeds of up to 28 mph, however, are still prohibited on the trail. You can rent e-bikes and other bikes from the Cycle Haus Bikes & Brews in Harrison, Silver Mountain Resort, or Spokehouse E-bike Rentals in Wallace.

Be Prepared for a Safe Ride

Especially when riding the trail in the fall, winter, or spring, it’s essential to be prepared. Weather in the mountains can change rapidly, so dressing for the season and daily conditions as well as bringing along extra layers of warm clothing and a rain-and-wind-proof jacket in a backpack or bike bag are critical. Every rider should always carry plenty of water and food in case you end up out on the trail longer than you expected. A headlamp or flashlight, first-aid kit, phone and backup charger, map, bike pump, helmet, bike light, and tire patch kit are also essential riding gear when out on the more remote stretches of the trail.

As long as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, hand sanitizer and a mask are also a good idea for any restrooms, stores, or restaurants you might visit on your ride. Be sure to check out the State of Idaho’s guidelines for recreating during the COVID era too.

As you explore the trail and the region’s history, the trail-side communities of Harrison, Kellogg and Wallace each continue to offer lodging and dining options during the COVID-19 pandemic, but always play it safe and follow the latest guidelines for protecting yourself and others. You can find more information about overnight accommodations and restaurant options in many of the towns along or near the trail here.

The post Ride These Short, Scenic Sections of North Idaho’s Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes appeared first on Out There Venture.

North Idaho is as beautiful as ever in the age of coronavirus. With forested hills, mountains, streams, and alpine lakes, it’s a great location to get away from it all. While traveling is a bit more complicated these days, North Idaho has an awe-inspiring rail trail that will let you and your friends socially distance and ride for miles (or days) along the rugged countryside.

The Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes is one of the Northwest’s longest paved biking trails, so it’s great for beginner bikers, seasoned riders, or families who have a mix of both. Stretching from Plummer to Mullan, Idaho, the trail will take riders past lakes, along a wild river, and through woods and wetlands teeming with wildlife. It’s an epic ride in summer or fall. Here are a few of our favorite things about it. 

Historic Stops

On the trail, you’ll bike past or near two state parks, which makes it easy to stop, admire from a distance, or keep cruising if the area is too crowded. The Coeur d’Alene’s Old Mission State Park features the Cataldo Mission, the oldest standing building in Idaho. Heyburn State Park is the oldest state park in the Pacific Northwest, created in 1908, and will give you great access to the southern end of Coeur d’Alene Lake.

The state parks are just the beginning—the Trail of the Coeur d’Alene is packed with historic sites and monuments like old railways and mines that will give you a rich experience of the area. These include the Crane House Museum, Crystal Gold Mine and Sierra Silver Mine Tours, the Grant Mill/ Gateway Marina, Sunshine Miners’ Memorial, Shoshone County Mining & Smelting Museum, the historic Chatcolet Bridge, Springston “Barren” Ghost Town, Captain John Mullan Museum, and the Northern Pacific Railroad Museum.

The Pulaski Tunnel Trail is a great opportunity to hop off your ride near Wallace, Idaho, and take an easy 4-mile round-trip hike to retrace a route that played a major role in the Great Fire of 1910.

Local Lodging

As you explore the trail and the region’s history over several days, the trail-side communities of Harrison, Kellogg and Wallace each offer their own unique, friendly vibe with lodging, dining, and entertainment options. The trail runs right through each of these Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes gateway communities. Plan to stay a few nights and hop on and off the trail in different communities to experience historic buildings, museums, memorials, and other sites that you can easily explore on foot.

Find more information about overnight accommodations in Harrison, Kellogg, and Wallace here.

Safe Recreating in the Age of Coronavirus

While the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes is open, some outdoor facilities and outfitters are just starting to reopen and need your help for safe recreation and participation. Before you go, look up your favorite campsites or day-use areas to make sure they’re open and see what sort of guidelines they have.

One important rule of thumb is to have a Plan B in place: if your destination is at capacity when you arrive, continue on to the next adventure spot. Luckily, with the mileage on this trail, you’ll have plenty of options. 

Here are a few guidelines for recreating in Idaho right now: 

• Maintain six feet of physical distance from people outside your family pod.
• Bring a mask in case a trail, boat dock, or other passing area is crowded.
• Be cautious while doing extreme sports, as outdoor staff and rescue crews are running at limited capacity. 
• Pack your own food and water, plus safety essentials such as a flashlight, rain jacket, first aid kit, sunscreen, sunglasses, and hand sanitizer so you can minimize physical contact.
• Keep it close to home and enjoy Idaho’s natural wonders from an access point near you to reduce traveling. 

Bonus Adventures

Biking, walking, or running the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes is just the beginning of your adventure. You can think of the trail as a connecting thread between a myriad of recreational opportunities. Stop at a local waterway or park to swim, hike, fish, float the river, rent a kayak, camp, or more. Take a detour to ride the famous Route of the Hiawatha, or tackle a single-track mountain bike trail like Beauty Bay Loop near Harrison. The areas of Harrison, Kellogg, and Wallace are great places to rent gear. You can also take historic walking tours in the towns of Harrison or Wallace, Idaho, which can definitely fill an afternoon.

Wallace offers a treasure of attractions for the history buff. The entire city is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with four renowned museums, an underground mine tour, and a four-acre open air historic mine exhibit. Plus, the town offers self-guided tours of its historic homes, churches and commercial districts.

Harrison will treat you with a waterfront and downtown self-guided tour. You can explore the Harrison Commercial Historic District, see the remnants of the first bridge to be built over the Coeur d’Alene River, the historic I.O.O.F Hall now home to local boutique businesses and the (in) famous One Shot Charlies, all while taking in the breathtaking view of this waterfront town. Indulge one or both tours as you relive the logging and rail history that built the American West.

Plan a few days for your summer or fall trip on the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes to pack it all in!

The post Safe Adventuring on the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes appeared first on Out There Venture.

Electric-assist bicycles are now officially allowed on the 73-miles of North Idaho’s paved Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes. Meandering from Plummer to Mullan along Lake Coeur d’Alene and the Coeur d’Alene River and through scenic wildlands and small towns, the trail was named one of the 25 top trails in the nation by the Rails to Trails Conservancy in 2010. The rule change involved cooperation between the Coeur d’Alene Tribe and the Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation, the two agencies that manage the trail.

The new e-bike rule applies to both class 1 e-bikes that provide electric motor assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and class 2 e-bikes that provide electric motor assistance with a throttle even when the rider isn’t pedaling. While class 1 and 2 e-bikes’ motors only deliver power until the bicycle reaches 20 mph, class 3 e-bikes that continue assisting a rider to speeds of up to 28 mph are still prohibited on the trail. Whether you have an e-bike or not, winter is a great time to get out and ride the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes on a fat bike in the snow or any bike if the trail is snow free. More info on riding the trail in the winter at: Outthereoutdoors.com/winter-riding-on-the-trail-of-the-coeur-dalenes.

Whether you choose to ride the trail in several sections or one long epic ride, you’ll find uncrowded recreation in a beautiful setting; friendly people; and fun, authentic events that will be one of the highlights of your summer.

Trail Sections Best for Kids

Here are four sections and their kid-favorite highlights, organized by the three major trailhead communities—Harrison, Kellogg, and Wallace—with easy trail access, lodging, restaurants, entertainment, shopping, and other services for families.

Harrison to Lake Chatcolet

This trail section travels along the sparkling waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene’s southeast shoreline. At one end is Heyburn State Park, where the bike trail crosses over Lake Coeur d’Alene along a former railroad draw-bridge, which marks the boundary with Lake Chatcolet. At the state park day-use area you’ll find a trailhead restroom, picnic shelter, playground, and state park restroom and water spigot.

Staying overnight in Harrison provides time for families to enjoy all the friendly charm, natural beauty, and history the town has to offer, including a city park and playground, swimming beach, marina, and ice cream parlor, as well as a bike shop for gear rentals and bike maintenance and supplies. Check out more of the local attractions and amenities for families here.

Harrison to the Chain Lakes of the Coeur d’Alene River

Starting from the Harrison trailhead right in town, families will enjoy wilderness serenity as the trail travels along the Coeur d’Alene River and passes a series of small lakes, which are connected to the river by narrow channels. Moose, deer, and an array of bird species are commonly seen along this section of trail through the Coeur d’Alene River Wildlife Management Area. There are also numerous wayside points, as well as four trailheads along this stretch. The Springston, Medimont, Blackrock, and Bull Run trailheads each provide trail access near Harrison from Highway 3.

Because it’s more than 20 trail miles between Harrison and Cataldo, families with young children should ride out-and-back from Harrison. Be sure to ride a reasonable distance that will keep the whole family happy. To experience the other end of the scenic Chain Lakes area, start riding out-and-back from the Cataldo, Blackrock, or Bull Run trailheads.

Cataldo to Enaville

This flat, tree-shaded section of trail along the Coeur d’Alene River connects families to two small towns. The trailhead in Enaville at the I-90 Kingston Exit is a short drive from lodging in nearby Kellogg, making this historic Silver Valley town a great basecamp for checking out this section of trail. Near the small community of Enaville, the Coeur d’Alene River splits into the North and South forks. In Cataldo, the Sacred Heart Mission, at the Coeur d’Alenes Old Mission State Park, is the oldest building in Idaho. Constructed in the early 1850s, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Because the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes doesn’t directly connect with the state park, families should drive to the park.

Kellogg to Wallace

The most developed trail section with the easiest access to amenities is between these two Silver Valley towns. Both offer family-friendly activities, including museums and mine tours, as well as plenty of lodging, dining, and shopping options. Wallace also hosts many summer festivals and events, including the Huckleberry Festival every August. Here is a complete list of local attractions and special events along the trail and in other nearby North Idaho communities.

Family Biking Tips

To ensure your family bike-ride is safe and as easy and comfortable as possible, bring essential supplies with you, including a trail map; tire pump and bike tools and supplies to fix flat tires and any bike mechanical problems (e.g., broken chain); clothing layers; first aid kit; and plenty of water and snacks for everyone. You can download an interactive digital map of the trail that highlights trailheads, rest areas, historic sites, and parks here.

Be sure to follow Leave No Trace ethics—pack out all garbage. And of course, everyone should wear a bike helmet and obey road crossing signs. Keep to the right of the 10-foot wide trail unless passing another trail-user, whether a runner, walker, cyclist, or electric-wheelchair user. Try to limit long rest-stops to trail waysides and trailheads.

Planning Your Trip

A multi-day biking vacation on the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes based out of Harrison, Kellogg, and Wallace provides the opportunity to explore different trail segments with time to play and rest, whether it’s going out-and-back on the trail from town or driving among towns for different stays each night to explore other trail segments. Find more information about overnight accommodations in Harrison, Kellogg, and Wallace here.
