The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes access points provide 19 developed trailheads with paved parking lots, vault toilets, and picnic tables along the 73-mile asphalt trail that parallels the Coeur d'Alene River.

Multiple access points between Plummer and Mullan offer convenient entry to the trail for biking, walking, and paddling access to the river and associated lakes, with several trailheads featuring boat ramps and marina facilities (particularly at Harrison and Chatcolet).

The trail's gentle grade and smooth paved surface make it accessible for most users, though visitors should note that contaminated sediments from historic mining activities remain in the river floodplain, so caution should be exercised and hands should be washed before eating.
