ADVENTURE!
Explore Pine Street Woods
Pine Street Woods is a unique place where people of all ages and abilities have the opportunity to be outside. The wide trails welcome strollers, wheelchairs, or friends walking side by side, and nordic skiers in the winter. Almost a dozen trails make for miles of hiking and biking or cross-country skiing and fat-biking in the winter.
Trails are for non-motorized use. Electric bikes are welcome. Horses are not encouraged at Pine Street Woods because of the numerous off leash dogs and mountain bikes that frequent the property. Also, our access road and parking lot do not accommodate horse trailers.
Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail
The Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail is a wonderful lakefront trail that stretches 1.5 miles from its trailhead north of City Beach to the adjacent town of Ponderay. Still under development, the trail makes one of the finest walks or bike rides from downtown Sandpoint, along a very flat and wooded track right along the lake with expansive views east to the Cabinet Mountains. It’s ideal for a stroll or jog or bike ride; there aren’t beaches but in summer the adventurous can find many spots to take a leap into the lake. In winter, the trail makes a fine cross-country ski or snowshoe.
Golf the Idaho Club
The Idaho Club is home to Idaho’s only Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course.
It is an 18-hole championship course that caters to advanced skill levels and awes all who set foot upon its fairways.
Mickinnick Trail
One of the closest and nicest hikes adjacent to Sandpoint, the Mickinnick is a challenging trail that rises more than 2,000 feet in its 3.5-mile length (meaning, a round-trip hike is 7 miles). But the workout is certainly worth it, affording splendid views as you climb up through big granite features amid open forests and spring-summer wildflowers. On warm summer days, the east-facing aspect of the trail makes it more user-friendly in the afternoon. The trail ends on a rocky knob commanding a view of Sandpoint, the Long Bridge, the Cabinet Mountains and Lake Pend Oreille.
