Me: Seeing & Being Seen

We hang out on the CDA river. It's quiet, there are few people, and to me it is the epitome of North Idaho. Not the touristy one, the real one. I've never taken a visitor there. I couldn't imagine some kind of dinner cruise there. It isn't about that. We pull up to one of our 'beaches' with the warnings about the lead, and listen to music and read, and enjoy the solitude and wave at every boat that goes by. No one cares what you are wearing, who you are with, or what kind of boat you have/Me, It's Just Me. More here.

Question: Where do you go to get away from the crowds and to enjoy an outdoor experience that attracts mostly locals?
