About the Prairie Trail
Thanks to efforts by the North Idaho Centennial trail Foundation and the City of Coeur d'Alene, the Prairie Trail was constructed in July 2008 linking parks, schools, neighborhoods and businesses. The Prairie Trail starts at Beebe Boulevard and runs northwest 4 miles across town ending at Huetter Road. Plans to extend the trail another mile to Meyer Road are underway.
