So, if you are like many others, when the word 'amusements' comes up, we think of amusement parks. Maybe arcades, miniature golf, water parks, and the like also tickle the imagination. Sandpoint and North Idaho have all of that and more. Maybe we don't have a Disney or Universal Studios, or even a Six Flags for that matter, but we do have the Pacific Northwest's largest theme park: Silverwood. We have water parks galore, and lots of other family and dating fun.

But expand horizons a bit, and think about the skiing, hiking, biking, and all the rest that goes along with great mountains, lakes, and rivers in one of natures truly spectacular areas: North Idaho. Since we have covered those other areas in this What to do in North Idaho section, this web page covers the rest of family fun and adventures. Listed below are many things to do, and links to them. Get some ideas here to cover your next great adventurous day out in our little slice of paradise. Plus, all summer long, you can listen to North Idaho Arts and Adventure hosted by Gary Lirette on KSPT and KBFI, 1400 in Kootenai and Bonner Counties covering Coeur d'Alene and Sandpoint, and 1450 on the AM dial covering Bonners Ferry and Creston.

Amusements and Attractions

The Mullan Road was the first first wagon road to cross the Rocky Mountains to the Inland of the Pacific Northwest. It was built by US Army Lieut. John Mullan between the spring of 1859 and summer 1860. It led from Fort Benton, Montana to Fort Walla Walla, Washington Territory, roughly following the path of modern-day Interstate 90 through the Rockies.

Parts of the Mullan Road can still be traveled. One such section is near Washtucna, Washington. This link provided is the section in Silver Valley, Idaho
