Another Tubbs Hill?

The trail around Tubbs Hill and along Lake Coeur d’Alene is well-worn and suitable for running.

COEUR d’ALENE - The goal is to create another Tubbs Hill-type recreation area for the public.

Before that can happen, the city of Coeur d’Alene would have to purchase seven acres of platted land that’s for sale to put in parking, trailheads, and benches for hikers and nature lovers. The parks department is proposing to do just that.

Tell me,” said Doug Eastwood, parks director, touring the views surrounding the seven acres for sale on the south side of Fernan Lake off Potlatch Hill Road, overlooking Lake Coeur d’Alene to the south, Fernan Lake to the east, and Canfield Mountain to the north. “What is the price on that?”

The asking price is $462,500. Tom Hasslinger/Cda Press Full story.
