Confirmed from McEuen Park and Dog Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Vast waterside space featuring walking trails, a playground & a sand beach area.

“McEuen Park in Coeur d’Alene is a fantastic, family-friendly spot.”
Great park on the waterfront. I like to hike Tubbs Hill. There are always people on the trail so it feels safe! The restrooms are clean and comfortable. There is a small bar/cafe where you can sit waterfront and have a drink.
I have come to this park since I was 12 years old and how it has changed over the years. It's a a great park situated on the shores of Lake Coeur D' Alene with lots of open area for picnics, Frisbee, Basketball, Volleyball and of course swimming and all the other lake activities.
so beautiful! we love the area and the atmosphere! love the play areas for the kids and the sights! we always have a great time walking downtown and visiting! we always make sure to visit when we go to Sandpoint from Colorado!
There are ramps so that this is a place where all kids can participate. This place is so big and so much fun. There is so much to do. There is a gigantic play structure, with everything you can imagine, Slides, swings, infant swings.
