As early as you can. Season gear goes out first come, first served, and we just got brand new Rossignol kids skis, so the families who reserve early get the pick of the newest gear.

The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes is a 73-mile paved trail along the river and lake, and it's perfect for e-bikes. The North Idaho Centennial Trail runs right through downtown CDA, and Canfield Mountain has singletrack above the city with lake views. If you don't mind going a bit further, the Route of the Hiawatha takes you through tunnels and over trestles in the Bitterroot Mountains.

Lake Coeur d'Alene is right in town, with launch spots at the downtown docks, Sanders Beach and Tubbs Hill. Hayden Lake is 15 minutes north and tends to be calmer, and if you want a full day of paddling with big mountain views, Lake Pend Oreille in Sandpoint is about 45 minutes north.
