The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes uses a 3,100-foot former railroad trestle to cross Lake Coeur d'Alene (also known as Lake Chatcolet in this section). It includes a 1921 swing bridge which was permanently raised up in elevation during the project to create a trail along the former railroad line, to keep a navigation channel open for taller boats while eliminating the need for the swing span ever to open. The original, flat level of the trestle can still be easily discerned in this photo, taken from the lake's west shore.
