TOP 10DreamTown

Awards and accolades, yeah, we get ’em. Not just because Sandpoint’s a pretty town, but because we’re beautiful from the inside out. We smile

and wave and stop to visit. We help each other, get behind causes, and make things happen, like bike trails and fountains. We saved our historic theater. We decorate everything, walls and street corners and everywhere in between. We laugh and enjoy life. We stop to look at the view. So you’ll know when you come here, we love our town.

Actor Ben Stein, who spends his summers in Sandpoint, once wrote: “Now, I have something to live for: to come back to a place where no one brags, no one cuts you off in traffic, where you do not hear one car horn honking at you all summer. ... Where you race in your boat under osprey and bald eagles that are impossibly powerful and swift and yet real and not in captivity. Dear, dear Sandpoint, stay as magical as you are, stay free and far, far away from the captivity of the modern.”

Pretty Place

SVG2014-final.indd 1 1/31/14 4:00 PM

Sandpoint exudes good juju, and people take notice. We have a Spirit that shines at our festivals and farmers market. We have a thing for the Arts and artists and performers who love this town and wouldn’t live anywhere else. We have live music practically every night of the week and an outdoor concert series where you can bring your own blanket and cooler – that’s right, the Festival at Sandpoint.

“With the Schweitzer Mountain ski resort just 12 miles away and a lake that offers boatloads of recreational opportunities, Sandpoint has long attracted outdoor enthusiasts.”

“Quirky, uncrowded, funky town,

Mountains ... exert a gravitational pull. “hip,” strong community spirit.”

“awesome terrain, no crowds and cold beer rate northern Idaho ski resort on enviable list.”

We have a little slice of heaven in them thar hills, and you can even see it from town. A ski mountain that’s Uncrowded with forever views of Lake Pend Oreille. Schweitzer Mountain Resort is our mountain, but we don’t mind sharing, even on powder days. We ski and board, but we also go tubing, snowshoeing, snow biking, skate skiing, zip lining and even venturing out into the Endless Backcountry.

“Go for the perfect vacation. Or the perfect rest of your life.”

Life could be one big vacation here. We bike around town and swim at City Beach, boat or kayak, wakeboard or kite surf, fish or float a river, golf or horseback ride, hike or mountain bike, go camping and off-roading, take scenic drives and bicycle tours, sleigh ride and snowmobile, visit state parks and a wildlife refuge, and tour a dam. We go to Plays and performances, museums, art galleries and studios, shopping, beer and wine tastingS.

“It’s easy to get seduced by Sandpoint.”

With big, fat Lake Pend Oreille and pristine Priest Lake, rivers and creeks, mountains and hills, Sandpoint has life by the outdoors. We like to see how many sports we can fit into one day. And guess what, we’re the only ones out there! We ski and ride, skate or diagonal stride. We like to get off our horses and mountain bikes and feed on huckleberries. We skinny dip in high mountain lakes. We rope swing and jump off rocks. We invite you to join us.

“Sandpoint is a hotbed for active sports, and summer

is the busiest season, especially for boating.”

“Idaho: The Last Wilderness.”“I drove once until there was no more

road, and then hiked until there was no more trail. Like leprechauns at rainbow’s end, we found a deep pool at the base of a waterfall, by a grove of ancient cedars. We caught fish until our arms were tired, and then watched the night sky theatrics. There was river music, white noise for sleep. And I promised never to tell the exact location.”

-The New York times, 2007
