Lake Coeur d'alene Coeur d'alene Parkway December

The excitement along the Coeur d'alene Parkway Trail at the east end of the lake is palpable! The eagles are in and feasting on the trout as they spawn. I had never walked this end of the lake and the trail system is wonderful! A lot of parking, paved trails and beach access for walking right along the water. There were so many people, many with their 4 footed kids, walking, running, standing with their long zoom lenses to get a shot of the feathered celebrities. When we were there there were a few here and there but not the large numbers I had heard spoken about.  There were fish heads everywhere, fish floating and on the beach from the buffet that the eagles had been enjoying.
