Your Best Day Begins Here
At Timberline Landing, North Idaho is close at hand. Follow the lakeshore toward Sandpoint, spend a day on Lake Pend Oreille, browse downtown, or make the mountain the center of your plans. Our printed guest guide includes more of our family favorites and illustrated local maps.
Lake and Shoreline
The Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail offers lakeside scenery and a memorable way to make your way toward Sandpoint and City Beach. When you want a day on the water, look into a kayak or paddleboard rental, a Lake Pend Oreille cruise, or a guided fishing trip. Check seasonal availability and conditions before setting out.
Mountain Days
Schweitzer brings skiing and snowboarding in winter, with hiking, biking, scenic lift rides, disc golf, and guided horseback outings during the warmer months. Closer to town, Pine Street Woods offers trails for a gentler walk or ride. Sandpoint is a wonderful place to explore on two wheels, from paved paths to mountain terrain.
Sandpoint, Slowly
Make a morning of coffee and crepes at The Bernklau, or breakfast above the water at Paneah’s Bistro on Cedar Street Bridge. Browse downtown shops and galleries, then stop for ice cream or coffee at Panhandle Cone & Coffee. For dinner, our family returns to Arlo’s for Italian food and pizza, The Bank for cocktails and a thoughtful meal, and 113 Main for a cozy evening downtown. The Pie Hut is a favorite for homemade pie and its huckleberry Monte Cristo; bring cash.
