Sandpoint is a major tourist destination in northern Idaho, and although it is small in size with just under 7,000, it has a big impact on the area and is the artistic heart of northern Idaho. Visitors to Sandpoint first notice the incredible scenery, with rugged mountains and sparkling lakes. Appreciation for nature and appreciation for the arts coexist in Sandpoint, and visitors who come to partake of both find it hard to leave. With Lake Pend Oreille in the summer and the Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort, Sandpoint residents and guests can indulge in just about every outdoor sport there is.
