Friends of Pend d'Oreille Bay Trail

The Friends of Pend d'Oreille Bay Trail are committed to creating a sinuous and natural waterfront trail that stretches from Sandpoint's City Beach to Black Rock and Ponder Point along the Northwest shore of Lake Pend Oreille in North Idaho. Our communities are changing and growing, and as they do, our lakefront and access to public lands are becoming more precious.

FUNDRAISING GOAL REACHED!
The Friends of the Pend d'Oreille Bay Trail are thrilled to announce that we have reached our Fundraising Goal! Thanks to the generosity of hundreds of donors, we have raised $400,000 - the needed amount to purchase a key section of waterfront land along the trail corridor. This goal was reached a year ahead of schedule! The Friends would like to thank all of our supporters and donors who helped ensure that this wonderful community project became a reality. There were many key players along the way who provided advice, volunteer hours, financial support and professional services and your efforts are much appreciated. Visitors and residents now can enjoy this stunning mile and a half long waterfront trail for generations to come. Join us to celebrate our success on November 21 at the Pend d'Oreille Winery.

BAY TRAIL FUN RUN RAISES $12,000!

Our first-ever Bay Trail Fun Run was held Saturday, June 1 to celebrate National Trails Day - and we blew past all our goals for this inaugural event. More than 300 people ran or walked the 5k and 10k distances, on a fair and warm day. A good time was had by all, we're pretty sure. See the run results, link to photos and get all the details on our News page»

THANK YOU, SPONSORS AND VOLUNTEERS. The Fun Run would not have been possible without them! Please click to see our terrific sponsors and our fabulous volunteers.

DONATE TODAY, HELP SECURE THE TRAIL
People have enjoyed the Pend d'Oreille Bay Trail for years, even though most of it is on private property. Now, some landowners are willing to sell, and we have an opportunity to secure this shoreline for future generations. We recently launched a Capital Campaign to raise $400,000 for purchasing 1,600 feet of waterfront along the Pend d'Oreille Bay Trail. Please help us reach our goal and donate today»
