Review for the Lake History Cruise, 1-2:30pm on July 2, 2020. They also have other cruise options…read moresuch as the Birds of Prey Cruise (June-Sept.), Island & Eagle Watching Tour (Spring & Fall), Full Moon Dessert Cruise (June-Sept.) and Sunset Dessert & Eagle Watching Cruise. This was a nice cruise around Lake Pond Oreille & I learned a lot of history about the area. Linda was a great "first mate" and tour narrator. Kimberly did an excellent job as "second mate," providing many detailed maps and info sheets/pictures through out the cruise. Our captain (AJ was his name I think) was a good driver and didn't make anyone lose their lunch. Everyone was very attentive and always checking in to see if we needed anything. We learned about submarines used by the US Navy on this lake, ice age facts, geology and so much more! Booking online was smooth as was the check-in at the boat. Seating was plentiful and if you chose to sit on the top (open air, chilly 52 degrees) they offered you a blanket. There is a bathroom on board in case you have to go. They also serve snacks and drinks (soda, beer, wine, cocktails) and have apparel available for purchase as well. TIPS: - Arrive 15-20 minutes before the cruise is scheduled to depart and you'll have prime choice of seating (approx. 10-12 chairs) - Bring your camera (& binoculars if you have some) because we saw bald eagles and other beautiful sites. - If you're a tipper, you may tip online at the time of booking or bring cash to tip afterwards. - If you bring your kids, they can have a chance to sit in the captains chair and drive the boat (the little boy on our cruise even got his own captain certificate!). Lake History Cruise - Ticket Prices: Adult (Ages 13-59): $25 Child (Ages 3-12): $18 Toddler (Ages 2 and under): Free Senior (Ages 60+): $23 Thanks for the enjoyable cruise and for making us feel very welcome in Sandpoint. We'll definitely be recommending this to others who visit.

Nice short lakefront trail along nicest lake in North Idaho…read more What it has going for it: - parking at trailhead - port-a-potty at trailhead - great views - can have your dog off-leash - access to beach when lake level is lower What it has going against it: - not much shade in certain parts of trail - can get windy - people who don't pick up after their dogs Nice trail that is about 3 miles round trip. Dog lovers will like this trail if your dog is well mannered. Plant some trees and develop the trail a little more with a real bathroom & water fountain at the trailhead and this can be a 4 star trail. Can see myself coming back here again.

The boat is clean, comfortable and Captain Kurt is a knowledgeable cappy-tain who has been fishing Lake Pend Oreille for a long time! He was on time, pleasant and had all kinds of gear as well as good fishing stories. We caught a HUGE Kampool Rainbow trout weighing in at 18 pounds and 33 inches. We would definitely choose Pend Oreille charters again. Pro tip: make sure there are no bananas on the boat before take off

He met us on time and conducted the entire excursion professionally. All along our 13-mile trip down the Kootenai river with Noah he guided the boat to exactly where we needed to be and pointed out the best spots to cast. Final score: Ten strikes, 6 in the boat including two white fish and four nice rainbows. Awesome! A light lunch of sandwiches made by Noah, himself, with chips, and drinks was delicious. I had a wondeful time, I got six fish, and memories that will last a lifetime.

We've gone up and been around snow before on this one and there's little tiny waterfall streams on the way as well.

Lots of people bring their dogs on this one which would be fun for them and I haven't experienced it being too crowded ever.

This trail is easy to access, near neighborhoods and the road to Schweitzer Ski Area. Views start pretty early but the elevation gain is steady. It will climb 2,000 feet from the trailhead, making it a challenge for those in the winter with their crampons and snow shoes, or a nice summer mornings' workout before it gets too hot. Lake Pend Oreille and the Cabinet Mountains are in full view on a clear day.

Definitely not for someone who doesn't exercise, is mostly sedentary, doesn't enjoy exertion etc. When you get to the rocky area near the top you may briefly despair thinking there's not a trail, and you're just going to be hopping over rocks. There is indeed a trail you just have to look for it. Great views at several points along the trail and the summit is nothing short of spectacular.

As soon as we arrived the people in front of us quickly got stuck because of the boulders that are placed everywhere. The people that work there sat in the golf cart and proceeded to watch them for thirty minutes. My spouse had to help with 3 others to jiggle a boulder so they can gain an inch of room. The area where they ask you to put up tents on are white rock filled area next to our fire pit and picnic table. We were asked to not use the "ground" dirt to camp but did point out many tents using this. The rules are ridiculous, no hammocks , and if you are disabled and use a cane like I do good luck maneuvering around the unnecessary costly boulders that are not an improvement but a waste of cost. Never again will I or seventeen others visit again. Enjoy your boulders.
