Fishing on Lake Pend Oreille is quite popular with large Rainbow and Lake trout caught, along with other fish species including large and small mouth bass, walleye, crappie, pumpkinseed, sunfish, pike and perch. Idaho is providing a $15 monetary reward (bounty) for the heads of a lake trout to eliminate as many of these fishes in an attempt to improve the Rainbow trout fishery. Walleye heads submitted during a month provides an angler with a chance to win one of ten $100 prizes each month. Imagine that – Idaho pays you to fish!
There are a number of bike trails within easy driving distance. There are several in the Sandpoint area. The Hiawatha Trail is a15 mile-long bike trail that begins at the Idaho/Montana border that includes 10 tunnels, and 7 high trestles, on an easy downhill 1.6% gradient. The trail is mostly down hill and is rated as one of the most scenic bicycle trails in the entire country. A bus at the bottom of the trail will bring you back to the parking lot. You can rent bikes and gear at Lookout Pass on the Idaho/Montana border. If you want to rent a bike it is suggested you make a reservation first. (By the way, the Wolf Lodfge Restaurant, in my opinion, the best steak house in all of North Idaho, is on the way). The first tunnel is 1.6 miles long so definitely bring a good head lamp.
