Fernan Lake Village, Idaho, offers a distinctive blend of tranquil freshwater with options for high-energy water sports, and CDA Lake Leisure serves as a gateway to all of it. With a range of rental options—BBQ boats, JetSurf motorized surfboards, and eFoils—this local outfit caters to families wanting relaxed lakeside grilling as well as thrill-seekers looking to carve waves on Coeur d'Alene and Fernan Lakes.
CDA Lake Leisure operates primarily from Honeysuckle Beach on Fernan Lake and extends its reach to the broader Coeur d'Alene Lake area. The lakes here are framed by forested slopes and granite cliffs that reflect the rugged landscape of northern Idaho. Fernan Lake’s calm waters create the perfect setting for BBQ boat cruising, where guests can pilot their own boat with an onboard grill, ideal for lakeside picnics without sacrificing mobility.
For those chasing adrenaline, JetSurf and eFoil rentals offer a modern, electric-powered twist on traditional water sports. JetSurf combines the power of a motor with the thrill of surfing on a compact board, requiring balance and agility. eFoils elevate this concept with a hydrofoil beneath the board, allowing riders to hover above the water’s surface, delivering a cutting-edge experience fueled by silence and speed.
CDA Lake Leisure’s presence is unique in the region for combining leisure cruising with cutting-edge watersports under one local outfitter. This variety makes it a standout destination for visitors to northern Idaho’s lakes looking to customize their day on the water, whether they want a chilled afternoon cooking burgers or a heart-pumping session skimming lake waves. The natural setting provides a blend of calm coves and open water, with plenty of opportunities to spot native bald eagles and ospreys that patrol the skies.
With easy access, flexible hourly rentals, and equipment suited to all skill levels, CDA Lake Leisure fits perfectly into the outdoor recreation opportunities this corner of Idaho has to offer, inviting visitors to connect with fresh water and fresh air in new ways.
