Lovely.magnificent.Gorgeous
Those are a few of the words visitors use to describe the exceptional natural beauty of Sandpoint, Idaho. Set on the shores of 40-mile-long Lake Pend Oreille – Idaho's largest lake – amid the frontal ranges of the northern Rocky Mountains, Sandpoint offers lake and mountain activities galore. And after a day of hiking, biking, boating or paddling, Sandpoint's downtown serves up a vibrant arts and music scene, unique shops, fine restaurants, an acclaimed winery and four craft breweries. We hope to see you here.

Winter Carnival Keg Pull Festival at Sandpoint
Our mountains have your number. If you're a hiker or mountain biker, come discover the 200-plus trails in the Selkirk and Cabinet Mountains that surround Sandpoint.
Mountain Biking Trails
MTB Schweitzer Mountain. Schweitzer and the adjacent Selkirk Recreation District have a terrific – and growing – 30-trail system for mountain bikers. Many afford outstanding lake views to complement the heart-pumping climbs and descents.
MTB Syringa + Pine Street Woods. The Kaniksu Land Trust provides the new Pine Street Woods trail system, and helps maintain oversight for the adjacent Syringa trails, with more than 20 rides ranging from easy to expert... barely two miles from downtown Sandpoint.
MTB Forest Service. There are many excellent single track rides developed on Forest Service trails and maintained with the help of volunteer rider groups. Notable rides are Brush Lake, with a fine moderately easy six-mile loop; Gold Hill, 2.9 miles uphill to a nice viewpoint, and potential connection to additional trails; and Lost LakeMineral Point trails with various loops comprising 10 miles or more in scalable difficulty.
Link up to maps, groups and more on our MTB Page: www.VisitSandpoint.com/mtb
HIKING Trails
There are scores of trails where the best – or only –mode is by foot. Hike to one of dozens of high alpine lakes, explore wildlife-rich estuaries and refuges, scale a mountaintop to get forever views or take a multi-day backpack into pristine roadless areas.
