Aerial Picture Tour of Sandpoint and Lake Pend Oreille

There are at least three ways to see the City and Lake Coeur d'Alene: one by helicopter and two by plane. I have been told these are smaller planes, but the tours are great; can't say about the chopper. The choices aren't limited to Lake Coeur d'Alene; Hayden Lake and several smaller bodies of water are minutes away.

Sandpoint Seaplane Service offers a tour around Lake Pend Oreille, but also can fly you over Lake Cocolalla, Twin Lakes, Spirit Lake, and the magnificent Priest Lakes. Lake Coeur d'Alene offers significantly more urban scenery, but still has the feel of wilderness. Lake Pend Oreille is much more pastoral, and Priest Lake is awesome.

These pictures are from a 45-minute tour over Lake Pend Oreille.
