McEuen now offers skiing, sledding

There’s a new spot to do some cross-country skiing and sledding in Coeur d’Alene.

The city’s Parks and Recreation Department has created a cross-country ski trail and small sled hill at the foot of Tubbs Hill in front of City Hall.

“As part of the CDA 2030 visioning process more than 3,000 residents shared their interests with us and said that additional outdoor winter recreation opportunities were high up on the list,” said the city’s announcement of the new place to play in the snow.

The trail and hill can be accessed from the City Hall main parking lot and the adjacent south lot, which can be entered from Eighth Street.

Blue flags mark the cross-country trail throughout the park.
