Sandpoint is home to approximately 7,000 residents, is
the county seat of Bonner County and is situated on the shores of Lake Pend
Oreille at an elevation of just over 2,000 feet. Moderate winters and warm,
sunny summers, offer residents and visitors an ever-changing kaleidoscope of
four-season living. Sandpoint is nestled between two major, majestic mountain
ranges, the Cabinet Mountain range, and the Selkirk range, located at the Southern end of
the Canadian Rockies. The Selkirks offer campers, hikers and outdoor enthusiasts
a wide range of recreational experiences.
The Cabinet Mountains to the East offer wildlife and wilderness area users a wide array of natural beauty. Moose, deer, elk, cougar and bear are but a few of the animals one might see. The Selkirk range is home to the last remaining herd of Woodland Caribou in the lower 48 states. Schweitzer Mountain offers world class skiing and breathtaking views of the valley floor and the big lake.
The Idaho Club Lake & Golf Retreat (formerly Hidden Lakes) is one of the Pacific Northwest's most scenic and challenging golf courses. Lake Pend Oreille is the centerpiece for fishing and water sports for Bonner County. The pristine blue waters of the lake hold some of the finest trophy fishing in the world. There are numerous marinas, public campgrounds, resorts, and fine dining all around the lake. The city beach in Sandpoint offers acres of clean water and sandy beaches, volleyball, tennis, basketball and plenty of green grass to enjoy a family picnic.
