About the White Pine Scenic Byway
Passing through the towering forests of Idaho’s historic timber country, the White Pine Scenic Byway takes road trippers through marshland spotted with lakes fed by the lower Coeur d’Alene River before crossing the picturesque St. Maries and St. Joe rivers. Dive into the history of Coeur d’ Alene’s Old Mission State Park, where the 19th-century Cataldo Mission stands, and the town of Potlatch, once home to the world’s largest white pine mill.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
