Directions to the Sandpoint R&E Center

We are located in the City of Sandpoint between the Bonner County Airport and Sand Creek. The SREC is bordered on the north by East Mountain View Drive and the south by the railroad tracks at Baldy Mountain Road.

From the south:

  • Follow US 95 north from the direction of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. As you cross the two-mile Long Bridge across the Pend Oreille River, turn right at the orange caution traffic light onto First Avenue. Follow First Avenue until it ends and turn left onto Cedar Street. Go through the traffic lights at Second and Fifth Avenues, across Sixth Avenue, and turn right onto Boyer Avenue. Follow Boyer Avenue 1.2 miles north across two sets of railroad tracks. As you cross the second set of tracks, our fields will be on your right. Take the first driveway to your right past the second set of railroad tracks.

From the west

  • Follow US 2 (Highway 200) east from the direction of Priest River, Idaho. As you enter Sandpoint, turn left at the second traffic light onto Boyer Avenue. Follow Boyer Avenue 1.4 miles north. Take the first driveway to the right past the second set of railroad tracks.

From the east

  • Follow Highway 200 west from the direction of Hope and Clark Fork, Idaho. As you enter Kootenai, go through the traffic light at McGhee Road and make a right turn onto the Kootenai Cutoff Road. Follow the Kootenai Cutoff Road 1.1 miles through the traffic light at US 95 (the road name changes to the Schweitzer Cutoff Road). Immediately after crossing a bridge across Sand Creek,  turn left onto Boyer Avenue for 1.3 miles. Turn into the first driveway on your left after you pass East Mountain View Drive. If you come to a set of railroad tracks, you have gone too far.

From the north

  • Follow US 95 south from the direction of Bonners Ferry, Idaho. As you enter Ponderay you will come to a traffic light. Wal Mart will be immediately ahead and to your left. Turn right at the traffic light onto the Schweitzer Cutoff Road and travel 0.3 miles. Immediately after crossing a bridge across Sand Creek,  turn left onto Boyer Avenue for 1.3 miles.
