Each summer, thousands of people come to Lake Coeur d’Alene to swim, fish, boat and paddle. Love Our Lake Week, set for July 13-17, invites residents and visitors to celebrate the lake and learn more about the science, history and stewardship efforts that help protect it. Participation will enter you in a raffle for a boat rental which will be drawn Friday, July 17.

The weeklong series of public events is organized by the Our Gem Collaborative, a partnership of scientists, educators, local governments, nonprofits and community leaders working together to support lake health through education, outreach and stewardship. Partners include the Idaho Water Resources Research Institute, the Coeur d’Alene Tribe, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, the Basin Environmental Improvement Project Commission, the Kootenai Environmental Alliance and Kootenai County.
