Description

Overview

Payment of fees is encouraged by credit card or check; no cash please.  Season passes are also available by calling 208-769-5000. 

This popular fishing access site on the east end of Coeur d'Alene Lake has a concrete launching ramp, docks and asphalt surfaced parking area. A daily fee of $12 applies, or an annual pass can be purchased for $80. Each winter from November through February, a migrating population of over 200 bald eagles visits the area to feed on spawning kokanee salmon. BLM staff lead an interpretive viewing program during peak migration, usually mid to late December.

Directions

About nine miles east of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Take US-90 east from Coeur d'Alene for 8 miles to Wolf Lodge Bay (exit 22), then south on Highway 97 for one mile. The boat launch is on the south side of Wolf Lodge Bay. The Mineral Ridge Scenic Area and National Recreation Trail parking area is one mile further south along Highway 97.
