Such a beautiful, gentle, and intelligent dog.

But now we won't have any. Instead we've now removed "the middleman" and will be scheduling with these "adventure" companies directly.

The prices are excellent! Local knowledge and experience are always the most valuable tool in an anglers arsenal. 100% would visit again.

His truck was clean and comfortable for the 30 drive to the Fly Shop just outside Wallas, Idaho. We planned ahead and had our license already, so we just needed to make shuttle arrangements for the truck to be at the pullout. Drift boat was clean and well outfitted for fishing. Justin supplied all the equipment and tackle for the day. We launched less than 5 minutes from the Fly shop and started fishing right away. I was in the front and caught 16-19 in. fish all day. My sister-in-law was in the back using the exact equipment and tackle caught one fish at the end of the day to save her trip. Ran into a young moose while we were anchored up and eating lunch. He entered the river and swam in our direction. we moved across river to let him by and he walked up the other side and disappeared into the woods. Unbelievable to see a moose up close in the wild. The river is closed to boats at the I95 because of construction so we had to pull out at the RV park. Justin returned us to the Airbnb at the end of the day and we said our goodbyes. I will return as soon as I can for another adventure.

One of the best tips friends who live in Coeur d'Alene (CDA) gave us during a recent visit was to…read morebe sure to spend some time on the Centennial Trail. (Also called the North Idaho Centennial Trail.) This was remarkably uncrowded - a few pedestrians, including folks using wheelchairs thanks to the fact this trail is paved and level, and a handfull of cyclists - on the beautiful summer morning we used it. In spite of the fact that summer is peak tourist season for CDA and the the "joint was jumping". Wonderful views, peaceful setting and a chance to really enjoy the serenity of the lake The following is from the friends of Centennial Trail website. We highly recommend this trail if you're visiting CDA. " The 24 mile long North Idaho Centennial Trail is a non-motorized paved trail that extends from Higgens Point on beautiful Lake Coeur d'Alene to the Idaho/Washington border, where it continues another 37 miles into Washington following the Spokane River. Along the trail are numerous rest areas, scenic overlooks and interpretive signs." More info at: http://friendsofcdatrails.org/Centennial/index.html http://www.northidahocentennialtrail.org/

Our stay was 4 nights and we booked several experiences for our time there. The first was a 90 minute massage. The massage room overlooks the marina and is beautiful. The massage itself was just okay. He asked the area he should concentrate and actually that area felt the least attended to. However, it was still very relaxing. My friend and I also booked "Hot winter night" at the infinity pool. This was so much fun as they have an adult hour and lucky for us the center above the pool was hosting prom. Yep- we got our dancing queen on. Might have annoyed the cute couples around us, but a girl's gotta dance! We also booked the "Floating in Frequency" on that Sunday morning. It was a small class and we drifted comfortably around the pool to the sound bowls. Highly recommend! Food is great at the resort and Beverly's "Lakeview Menu" is a great deal. Available until 5:30 each day, you get a 3 course meal for $29.99 with an optional wine pairing for $24.95. We had a window view and got to know the local geese (guarding their nests along the edge) June 2026- Had another friend in town and of course wanted her to experience this resort. We stayed 4 nights in Lake Tower and this time had a west facing view which had beautiful sunsets. The outdoor pool had opened, but we only visited once as it was windy and cold. Instead, we booked a "Girl's escape package" This included massages for both, lunch, and a pedicure. We had a great time. July 4th weekend 2026- This was a last minute book for us, and if we planned ahead would have gone for Lake Tower. However, we were pleasantly surprised at our view of the fireworks from the Park Tower Marina room (stay was 3 nights). This was probably the best for us since we had our dog Luna. It didn't have a balcony, so better for her not to hear the load booms. We spent a day at the infinity pool (rented a beach cabana) and ate dinner early. Then spent the time in the room waiting away for the crowds. The show was amazing and I've never been so close to fireworks with such an amazing view. We had an amazing time!

What it has going for it: - good fencing, gates and entry area - decent size run - dog drinking fountain - poop bags provided - limited views of river What it has going against it: - no small dog run - ground cover is packed dirt...bad drainage - no shade - limited seating - no parking close to run When they were planning Riverstone Park I am sure they needed to check off the box for a dog park, but I think it was at the bottom of the list of priorities since there doesn't seem a lot of thought was put into the planning of this dog park. Access is from the Centennial Trail. The closest parking is on West Suzanne Rd or you will have to park at the parking lot for Riverstone Park and walk over 1/3 mile to this dog run. This public dog run/park is being used mostly by the tenants of the adjacent Riverstone apartments. Add shading, more seating and better ground cover and this is a 3 star dog park/run. Fixed the drainage issue, add a small dog run and better access and this could be a 4 star dog run/park.

The lodges we stayed in were historic, beautiful, and comfortable. Its not Four seasons but its fantastic compared to tent camping. The food was delicious and much better than I was expecting. We had some dietary restriction, and the team was very helpful and accommodating. Our entire family loved the entire trip, even my wife who is not the outdoorsy type.
