Welcome to Sandpoint ... we're glad you're here!

Sandpoint is a northern Idaho gem, nestled between big ol' Lake Pend Oreille – our state’s largest lake – and the rustic Selkirk and Cabinet mountains.

Here is where you can enjoy favorite

adventures - with the wide open spaces to discover

new things to love!

HERE stays with you,

long after you've left

Lakeside f n on a summer day

Discover play

All smiles on the Pack River Delta


It's rugged here, making Sandpoint the perfect place to hike and bike forested trails, play on the lake, and hit the slopes on Schweitzer's 2,900 skiable acres.

It’s also culturally refined here, with award-winning wineries, art galleries, a historic theater, and lively culinary scene.

All summer long, Sandpoint touts an impressive lineup of events highlighted by the incomparable Festival at Sandpoint outdoor concert series, the Long Bridge Swim, the CHAFE 150 and WaCanId bike rides, and a Scenic Half marathon with views that inspire.

Come winter, Sandpoint goes nonstop from opening day at Schweitzer Mountain Resort through the annual Winter Carnival celebration and beyond. Just a few miles in any direction, you'll always find the peace and solitude of winter in the northcountry.

HERE is more about finding yourself than finding your place in line
