For some folks, it’s the astounding lake-and-mountain beauty they see as they first drive into Sandpoint across the Long Bridge. For others it is the outstanding outdoor recreation and great skiing at Schweitzer; or for others the wonderful community spirit of a small town that always has big-town entertainment going on. Sandpoint is all those things, and more. Please browse these information links to learn more about our town area region. And if you have a question, don’t hesitate to e-mail us!sandpointarea
