The Boardwalk Marina — Attraction in Coeur d'Alene

World’s Longest Floating Boardwalk!

A must-see when walking around downtown Coeur d’Alene. This unique floating boardwalk wraps around The Coeur d’Alene Resort and its 362-slip marina, offering scenic lake views and a peaceful stroll over the water.

"Welcome to the world’s longest floating boardwalk! Completed in 1985, the Coeur d’Alene Resort Floating Boardwalk stretches 3,300 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 10 feet deep, featuring a 60-foot-long bridge on the west side. Constructed with 16,000 cedar logs and over 500,000 board feet of lumber, it includes 5 miles of bumper strips".

Nice cool breezes off the water, mahogany boats on display...just be careful with toddlers or if you have balance issues, as the wind or wake from boats causes movement. Take note of the signs at either end of boardwalk for...
