Sandpoint Idaho
Cross the two-mile bridge over Lake Pend Oreille and there, nestled in the foothills of the Selkirks, you’ll find the quaint little town of Sandpoint. Although its population peaks at 7,500, Sandpoint has long been considered a cultural center for this region, drawing visitors from across the country. International festivals, all-star events and celebrity appearances are already creating worldwide attention. Sandpoint’s unique charm lies in its small-town sense of community, with the restored Spanish-mission-style Panida Theater and a seemingly endless number of excuses to “hang out”.

Pristine. Stunning. Magnificent. These are just some of the words used to describe Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced pond-a-RAY), Idaho’s largest and deepest lake. With depths of more than 1,200 feet and 111 miles of shoreline, its beauty and purity are sustained by the natural mountain-fed waters from the Clark Fork and Pack Rivers. Lake Pend Oreille is tucked away in the Kaniksu National Forest, offering mile after mile of alpine beauty—and a mountain-lake opportunity that grows more precious as coveted natural settings become harder to find.
