Hi John, I have been sailing in Couer D'Alene (Heyburn St Park launch, overnight at Mowry park, ice-cream at Harrison) and Pend O'Reille (out of Farragut St Park, and all the way north to Trestle Creek, but the little hidden dock at the mouth of the Clark Fork is a must visit) a number of times over the last couple of years. Both are great, clearly the only course of action is to do more sailing and visit both!! Sam M15 272 On Tue, Jun 4, 2019 at 1:51 PM Steve Trapp <stevetrapp@q.com> wrote:
John, No U.S. Navy submarine areas to sail clear of on Lake Couer D'Alene, but there are on Lake Pend O'Reille. More steady winds winds with fewer gusts on Lake Couer D'Alene. Generally what I consider to be more small sailboat (M-15) friendly than Lake Pend O'Reille. Steve M-15 # 335

Can you clarify your preference with some additional information?
thanks, John

Having paid for a seasonal boatslip at both lakes over several seasons and having sailed my M-15 on each lake for several seasons, I vote for Lake Couer D'Alene over Pend O'Reille. Steve M-15 # 335

Gerald,
I live in Coeur d'Alene and cast my vote also for sailing Lake Pend Oreille as the preferred option. There are two marinas on the south end of Pend Oreille which offer visitor moorage. You can launch and park your rig at Farragut State Park ($10/night) and there are two nice public overnight dock/anchor options (free) within an easy days sail.

Hello,
I would like to bring my M23 to lake Coeur D'Alene in early August. She is too big to put back on the trailer each day so I would like to find temporary mooring for about 9 days. Does anyone know a good place for this?
It looks like Silver Beach Marina is the best choice. I would have to launch near the Hagadone marine group and sail to Silver Beach. I noticed there is a sailing marina run by the Panhandle Yacht Club. Is anyone a member that would be willing to offer information?
Is there a good place to anchor?
Any general information about sailing and launching on the lake would be helpful.
Thanks for the help!
