Lake Boating, Sailing And Cruises

Railroading
Sandpoint is a railroading town - one of the best in the west. This is where the Burlington Northern, Montana Rail Link and Spokane International rail systems meet to create what is referred to as "The Funnel." Along these rails more than 40 trains travel through per day.
Round Lake State Park
This state park is located about 10 miles south of Sandpoint, and stays open all year for camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, and more. In the winter, it's a premier recreation area offering ice fishing, skating, sledding, cross-country skiing, and warm bonfires on the weekends.
Walking Excursions
Travel along the Pedestrian Long Bridge for that perfect walk, or bike ride toward the bridge from the bike path on the south edge of the city. Here you'll find amazing views of the lake and the Selkirk Mountains. Or head over to Travers Park on West Pine Street, and City Beach downtown, where the bike paths are open for walking and bicycling.
