Flying, Parasailing, Sky Diving in Sandpoint & N Idaho

For the adrenalin junkie, there are few activities that equal soaring through the air in one way or another. In Sandpoint and North Idaho, we love flying and aviation as much as any other part of the world. Flying, sky diving, and parasailing in locally can be more of a challenge than other places, in that we have more mountains, snowy seasons, and, at times, fewer resources. We do, however, have plenty of airfields and landing strips. Plus, if you have a seaplane, we have endless lakes and rivers. We have a blossoming aviation industry, with Quest Aircraft manufacturing puddle jumpers, with orders for next years to come. So, you've decided you want to do a little sky diving, parachute in hand. Here is everything we could find about our aviation industry.
 

Ballooning   Every Labor Day weekend Coeur d'Alene has the Lake Coeur d'Alene BalloonFest. This is an outstanding event that benefits the KOOTENAI ALLIANCE FOR CHILDREN & FAMILIES. While the BalloonFest does not offer rides, it is a good place to meet these intrepid sky riders, and garner info on who does offer rides, as well as other pertinent information. It is hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. They can give you further tidbits if you call 877-782-9232 Other Ballooning Resources: Idaho Hot Air Balloons Avion Balloon Corporation Balloons Over Idaho Para-Gliding, Hang Gliding, and Parasailing   Wind Walker Parasail  208-263-2136 120 E Lake, Sandpoint (Located at Sandpoint Marina) Coeur d'Alene Parasail  208-765-5367 City Docks & Northwest Blvd, CdA (Independence Point) Paragliding Sun Valley Nearest Community: Sun Valley Region: Central Type: Outdoor Recreation Experience flying high over beautiful Sun Valley in both summer & winter in tandem with a certified paragliding pro.
