A noon dedication ceremony for the Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail took place Thursday, November 13—marking the official opening of the almost 1.5 mile shoreline trail to the public.
The ceremony took place about a 1/4 of a mile down the trail on the symbolic property line between the cities of Sandpoint and Ponderay. These two cities, with support from the Friends of the Pend d’Oreille Bay Trail, the Idaho Conservation League and others, collaborated to create the trail that now provides fantastic recreational opportunities, safe access to Lake Pend Oreille and an alternative non-motorized greenway.
