Coeur d'Alene Lake, located in Idaho, has a rich history dating back to the Coeur d'Alene tribe, who named the lake "Schitsu'umsh" meaning "place of the sharp-spirited people." The lake is fed by the Coeur d'Alene River and is a major hydrology source for the region. The surface flow of the lake is regulated by the Post Falls Dam. The lake's snowpack is a crucial source of water for the surrounding areas, including agricultural and recreational use. The lake is known for its clean water, making it a popular destination for boating, fishing, and swimming. The Coeur d'Alene Resort Golf Course, located on the lake's shore, is also a popular attraction. Today, the lake remains an essential source of water and a beloved recreational destination for locals and tourists alike.
