Mickinnick Trail, is a 3.5 mile trail (one-way) that "switchbacks" through 160 acres of  huge rock outcroppings, grassy meadows, and old growth timber. It is also graced with spectacular vistas of Lake Pend Oreille, Sandpoint, the Cabinet Mountains and the Pend Oreille River.  The top boasts an elevation of 4300' for a total elevation gain of 2150'. The land was originally donated by Nicky Pleass in 1997 to the U.S. Forest Service in memory of her late husband Mick Pleass.  Both Mick and Nicky envisioned a scenic trail directly above Sandpoint Idaho.  They wanted to preserve this scenic land for future generations and as a gift to the community.  In 2005 the trail was opened thanks to grants and partnerships between the Idaho Panhandle Resource Advisory Committee, the City of Sandpoint, Bonner County, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Forest Service and The Friends of Mickinnick Trail.

Directions: From Sandpoint point your car North on Boyer, Turn Left on Baldy Mtn. Rd, Turn Right on Great Northern, Turn Left on Woodland Drive "crossing the tracks" the trail head is just up the road on your Left. :)
