What a Beautiful
pace
From the very first glance, Sandpoint’s charms cast you under its spell. Situated alongside Lake Pend Oreille, beneath the rugged Selkirk Mountains, the
Sandpoint area overflows with recreational pursuits. In addition, the town’s rich
entertainment and arts scene, with its diverse offerings, is unparalleled.
With so much to do, use this handy guide to map out a strategy, or simply
get you from Point A to Point B (which is a scenic venture itself). Inside this
guide, you’ll find hospitable lodging options, must-see major attractions, and so
much more that makes this part of the world something extra special.
Welcome! Sandpoint is all yours to explore – as relaxed, or as exciting – as
you want it to be. As you will find, the adventures are endless.

It Just Comes
naturally
Sch we it zer
Looking for small-town charm? Head out for any of a number of year-round special events, while browsing through mom-and-pop stores. Looking for adventure? Blaze a trail along one of many hiking paths around the area, where you’ll find a
wilderness of solitude just minutes from downtown. Or schuss dozens of trails
and two open bowls at Schweitzer Mountain Resort, the Inland Northwest’s
largest ski and snowboard resort, only 11 miles from downtown Sandpoint.
With such diverse options, you can enjoy a winter’s day on the slopes,
followed by an evening out on the town – perhaps taking in an independent
film or concert at the historic, renowned Panida Theater. Or fill a
summer afternoon on the water or at a cozy beach on Lake Pend
Oreille, Idaho’s largest and deepest lake. Relax – you’re in
Sandpoint now!
