Home to Coldwater
Creek, Sandpoint is a town of 5,500 located on
the shores of majestic Lake Pend Oreille
(pronounced "Ponderay"), nestled in the
Rocky Mountains of northern Idaho.
The town gets its name from the sandy beaches
fronting the lake, noted by 19th-century
explorers and still a major attraction today.
You'll find Sandpoint on US Highway 95, 48
miles north of Coeur d'Alene and Interstate 90.
If you're headed north to Banff or Calgary, we're
right on the way. And we think Sandpoint is a
must-see for any trip through the Northwest.
Hip mountain towns now dot the West, and
Sandpoint is one of them. If you feel at home in
Telluride, Taos, Banff or Bend, you'll like it
here as well. Although Sandpoint is decidedly
smaller than some resort towns, it has lots of
familiar features: great outdoor recreation,
terrific restaurants, a lively arts scene and
wonderful stores.
The outdoor sports are indeed great. Most of
us here love the area's skiing, hiking, biking,
fishing, boating, golfing and other recreational
opportunities. We massage sore muscles all year.
Sandpoint is known throughout the Northwest
for its active arts environment, featuring
festivals and events year round. A substantial
community of nationally known artists also call
this area home.
Shopping is excellent, with the Coldwater
Creek stores on the Cedar Street Bridge anchoring
a wide array of fascinating downtown shops,
antique stores and galleries. For more on
