Ironman eve
Three days before the incredible athletes of Ironman Coeur d'Alene hit the water to begin their adventure, Coeur d'Alene's city park and beach are relatively uncrowded. Over the next few days the family and friends of the 2,500 athletes will arrive, along with thousands of spectators to this beautiful city on the lake.

Lawn Mower Drag Races
This is the 10th annual running of the Big Back-In Lawn Mower Drags down Maine Street in Spirit Lake on Father's Day. If you have yet to experience the unique mountain man ambiance of downtown Spirit Lake, it's a must. Fun for the whole family, including the dog.
Small Town Scenes
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life here in North Idaho, it's easy to forget why we love where we live. Even more than the beautiful lakes, rivers and mountains, it's the lifestyle. Where else can you not be surprised to see a couple of gals out for a horseback ride in town on a Saturday afternoon, like these ladies in Post Falls?

Free Fishing!
Idaho's Free Fishing Day is an annual event held the second Saturday of June. Idaho Fish and Game invites all anglers, residents and nonresidents, to celebrate the day by fishing Idaho's waters without a license.
If you've never been fishing, Free Fishing Day is also a great day to learn. Fish and Game personnel and volunteers will be at numerous free events at local fishing waters throughout the state to help first time anglers discover the joys of fishing. There will be loaner rods and reels available at Falls Park in Post Falls and Ponderosa Springs Golf Course in Coeur d'Alene.

Down river
We've had one of the wettest springs on record, following one of the least snowiest winters on record. As the rainfall caused some flooding in Coeur d'Alene, the Post Falls dam on the Spokane River had the gates wide open, making for some roaring scenery at Falls Park. The viewing platforms at the dam were the best place to be on a Saturday afternoon.
