Sandpoint - Our Home Town
Meet the Locals
Welcome to our charming town of Sandpoint, ID, voted by Rand McNally as the "Most Beautiful Small Town in America!"
Conveniently located only 11 miles from Schweitzer Mountain, on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille, Sandpoint has it all including a thriving arts community, fantastic restaurants, and local craft beers & wines. Stop into MickDuff's, Trinity at City Beach, Eichardt's, or The Fat Pig for lunch or dinner before heading up to the mountain - you'll be glad you did!
Year round, there's plenty to do, plenty to see, and plenty of places to play! Summertime offers the renowned Festival at Sandpoint concert series and our locals' favorite - the Farmer's Market, held every Saturday morning and Wednesday afternoons in Farmin Park during June, July & August. Silverwood Theme Park is only 20 minutes away and offers an excellent day of thrills and excitement.
