Sandpoint, Idaho Information

Sandpoint has many things for visitors to do. Outdoorsy-types can enjoy the ski slopes in winter and the lake in summer. If you like hiking, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing, you'll find plenty to do in North Idaho.

You don't have to be a "jock" to enjoy the area either. Sandpoint offers a lot of restaurants and entertainment for a town its size. You can stroll around the shopping area downtown, enjoy a latte at one of the coffee shops, or just sit on a bench and watch the world go by.
