Higgins Point

Amenities: Restrooms, picnic tables, beaches, public docks.

Higgins Point is one of the best kept secrets in North Idaho. The Point sits right off the freeway but can only be accessed from Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive and the Centennial Trail. Once you park, it's about a five minute walk up hill to the top of the point. From there you have a well shaded picnic area with incredible views on all sides. And if you're a boater, there's a boat launch near by and 2 public docks on the point itself.

Higgins Point is the endpoint of the 34 acre Coeur d'Alene Parkway, a thin strip of park land running along the Centennial Trail for about 1/2 mile before meeting Higgins Point. This park is managed by Idaho Parks and Recreation.
