The Flathead National Forest is all about its geography. It lies in the heart of the Rockies, just west of the continental divide, and a pinch south of the Canadian Border. With geography like this, landscape magic is bound to occur, and it does. With over 2.4 million acres, the Flathead features three wilderness areas, impressive ski areas, commanding wild ranges, meandering streams, and raging rivers (this list could go on). Spend your days hiking, rafting, wildlife viewing, snowshoeing, and fishing. At night shack up in a Forest Service cabin or pitch a tent beneath the northern lights. Get the fire roaring, raise your bottle, and make a toast to the Flathead and her geographic magic!

Named for a sprawling, sparkling body of water that just appears out of nowhere off the highway, Coeur d’Alene River Campground and Picnic Areas are a mind-boggling expanse of beauty, color, and water sports (swimmers, tubers, sailers, parasailers, and seaplane pilots bring your sunscreen). Giant, dense pine forests rise up along the shores of the flat riverbed, with gorgeous homes high up overlooking it—be sure to take a scenic drive through the neighborhood. The nearby historic town of Wallace is a great place for antiquing, bars, diners, and just general mountain charm, while the town of Coeur d’Alene itself has a very Scandinavian vibe; active and modern, yet very remote and relaxing!

Weekend Trip to Stillwater Getaway

Stillwater Getaway was easy to find and park near our stay. The Canteen made it easy to prepare meals and clean up. Our dogs enjoyed the lake and nearby trails. It was a wonderful respite for all

Weekend Trip to Dick's Blue Ribbon Fish Camp

Host was very communicative regarding his site. Upon arrival I walked the route per his suggestion-unfortunately there were some branches that were too low for my rig. I messaged him and he refunded without issue. He appreciated the feedback and will look at removing the low branches. A beautiful site on the water-Hope to return in the future!

Ryan is an excellent host and very welcoming. He shared some of the history of the camp which we found interesting. We really liked the "Always Open" club house/kitchen with many games and books.

Great spot. Very quiet and right next to the river. I enjoyed the quiet and the stars while getting in some great fishing. Was pretty easy to find but got confused at the end. Took me a second to realize you have to drive through the field. Otherwise a great spot. I’ll be back

Super friendly host and nice campsite. Bathroom is clean. Canvas tent can be little chilly at night so use an extra blanket.
