Tubbs Hill sits on a scenic peninsula jutting into Lake Coeur d’Alene, just south of the city’s center. This 120 acre park has several miles of trails, but the most popular is an easy 2 mile loop circling the shoreline. After offering up view after view of the lakeside, the trail dips back west through an evergreen forest. Most runners access Tubbs Hill from the main trailhead at 210 South 3rd Street. However, there is also an east side entrance off of 10th Street, where the East Tubbs Trail meets the main loop. For more variety, runners can tackle the challenging climb up the Summit Trail (blue trail on map), or explore one of the fire roads that spider through the park. This trail also makes a convenient add on to the North Idaho Centennial Trail.

The cornerstone of running in Coeur d’Alene. This paved multi-use path wraps around the lakeside for great views, stretching west into Washington. Floating Boardwalk is a highlight! We've mapped 10.5 miles of 24 miles, can add w/Prairie Trail.
It's fun to explore Coeur d'Alene's downtown area with a run. Sherman Ave. is the main commercial drag. Adjacent to downtown, we've pointed out some of the more attractive residential streets for running. Avenues run E-W and numbered streets N-S.
Paved, 73-mile multi-use trail following a former rail line from Plummer to Mulan. Very scenic, meandering through the historic Silver Valley, along the Coeur d’Alene River past scenic Lake Coeur d’Alene and through rolling farmlands. The Chatcolet Bridge is a highlight!
Mineral Ridge, located on Lake Coeur d’Alene’s Beauty Bay, has a lovely smooth 2 mile trail with fantastic views out over the water. Some hill work required. There are other trails in the area, including several forest service roads.
There are lots of trail running options around the Idaho Panhandle National Forest, but Canfield Mountain is one of the most popular. We’ve mapped a gentle 5.4 mile route to “The Island” and back. A hilly route, climbing 1,000+ feet!
This beautiful state park to the northeast of Coeur d’Alene is a popular camping and recreation destination. There are over 45 miles of runnable trails, including The Buggy Trail and The Beaver Bay Shoreline Trail.
One of the most scenic rail trails in the United States, the route is along a former rail line that's now 15-mile gravel path, featuring 10 train tunnels and 7 sky-high trestles. It's set up so bikers (or ambitious runners!) can do the route one way and take a shuttle back!
