Recreation
Floating, rafting and kayaking the Coeur d'Alene River as well as fly fishing for cutthroat trout are the primary activities. However there are trails to hike, Fern Shadow Falls to view and any photographer would find many worthy subject to shoot. I found this rafting outfitter but am sure there are others.

Devil's Elbow Campground is situated along the Coeur d'Alene River on flat land in a mature forest. The river is shallow on the campground bank and deeper on the far bank. It is great if you want to let your kids play in the water but keep an eye on them as the far side is several feet deep.
