Description: Looking east-northeast along the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes from the west end of its crossing of Lake Coeur d'Alene (also known as Lake Chatcolet and Round Lake in this section), via a 3,100-foot former Union Pacific Railroad trestle. The single-track rail line, which was abandoned in 1991, stayed at the same level, but when the trestle was later converted into a trail, In this view, the trestle's former swing-span truss bridge was permanently raised up in elevation, so as to keep a navigation channel open for taller boats while eliminating the need for the swing span ever to open.
