Higgens Point — Attraction in Idaho

It's you're looking for a short hike in Coeur d'Alene this is an easy one. I followed the recommended path and I may have missed something. We walked to the top of the point on a paved path. There are places you can get to the water along the way but it's a little steep. When you get to the very top where the park area is, it would be difficult to get to the water if you're not careful.
