More Info: Three northern Idaho residents have donated 50 acres to the city of Coeur d’Alene to preserve as a waterfront walking area along Fernan Lake. Jim Elder, Pat Acuff and Doug Potter, of Fernan Lake, last week deeded the land that includes 1,000 feet of waterfront. “We wanted to preserve it for the public,” Elder told the Coeur d’Alene Press. “This was the best way to make sure it remained a huge asset for the community forever.”

Question: How important is this contribution to the greater Coeur d’Alene area?
