This trail is essentially a bike-friendly highway connecting Dover and Sandpoint. It’s well-paved, well-maintained, and offers quick, safe access between the two communities. Along the way, you’ll pass essentials like gas stations, restaurants, and schools—making it practical for both recreation and commuting. It also runs close to several mountain bike trailheads, so whether you’re cruising to town or heading out for a more rugged ride, this path is a perfect starting point. Expect to see a mix of cyclists, runners, and walkers during the day. It’s a great asset to the area for locals and visitors alike.
Beautiful, no homeless, gang tags, excessive graffiti or garbage. Pure nature at its best!
Wrote this trail from the city of Coeur d’Alene to the Washington border in early September. Some nice sections along the lake, but also some rather boring very exposed sections closer to the Washington border.
Flat and smooth, not exactly scenic - but it was a pleasant little ride.
I am not sure why people give it 2 stars. It is a long trail and definitely in a city it will have issues. But I took West part from Military Cemetery trailhead to Nine Miles Falls park and the trail was fantastic. Wonderful views, good pavement, but boy, it is not rails to trails for sure :-). Up and down hills. Not too bad but many would prefer ebike I guess.
Excellent for a short ride out of Sandpoint. I didn't go all the way down to Sagle. I was riding my e-bike and wasn't sure if I should be riding on a trail that says no motorized vehicles. I wanted to be respectful to the rules of the trail.
I road the trail with a recumbent trike. About 2 miles down the trail is a gate. One can go around the gate, but it’s a bit rocky. I had to lift the trike around. Just a bit further the trail is washed out. There seems to be a bypass trail, but only hikers will be able to manage. This was disappointing, since it’s a really nice trail.
Our car was broken into; The drivers window was shattered out and everything was stolen inside the vehicle including all our tools and our very expensive sound system. There are no lights, no cameras, and the entire area is very sketchy at night. I would not recommend parking your vehicle in that parking lot at all.
No trail exist from boulder beach east a few miles and shoulders of the road have glass and debris. Very dangerous during high vehicle traffic times. There is a safer alternative but it is all roads and no trail.
Lots of detours! Nice view along the city river section but every direction there were detours. And then homeless coming out of the bushes.
