Things To Do - Recommended Itineraries
|
| Native Peoples Drive: Pick up a picnic (pre-order recommended) from Owen’s Grocery
and Deli. Drive out Hwy. 2 over the bridge turning left on LeClerc Road. Follow the road to
Pioneer Park and visit the self-guided tour of the Kalispel Tribe’s ancient camas ovens.
Enjoy the striking water views. Have lunch. Return to LeClerc Road turning left out of the Park.
Follow the road to the Kalispel Reservation. Keep an eye out for the buffalo herd on the
left…sometimes they’re visible from the road. When you reach the Manressa Grotto on
the right, you can park near the restroom facility. Climb up the gently sloping gravel path to the
grotto. This has a great history and was used for church services in an earlier time. To return to
Newport, drive back through the Reservation to the Usk Bridge. Take the bridge through the town of
Usk to Highway 2 and turn left. Travel back toward Newport through Dalkena. |

Things To Do - Wildlife Viewing
|
|
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife/Pend Oreille County/Sherman Creek
It’s unusual to drive five miles without sighting something on four legs or on the wing.
We’re affectionately known as “The Zoo” in Pend Oreille county. We have it all:
caribou, elk, deer, bear, 267 species of birds – tundra swans, blue heron, bald eagle, osprey and
lots of smaller varieties. Pick a pleasant spot and you won’t have to wait very long. Or drive
“downriver” (the River flows north) but look up – the eagles and osprey nest along the
river. Check out the official links if you wish to locate a specific variety of animal.
