You have many choices. Sandpoint is 39 minutes - Spuds Restaurant is great. Ivanos Italian in Sandpoint. Joels is amazing true Mexican food (we spend alot of time in Mexico and this place is authentic).
Definitely buy some Amish cheese/mests from the 2 delis in Bonners before the first lights.
Couer D'Alene - Texas Roadhouse - if you've never been to one definitely go for dinner. If you go before 6pm they have specials for $9.95 for dinner.

We drive all that way just to nosh at Cracker Barrel. It's extremely budget friendly & always tastes like someone's grandma is in the kitchen whipping up her secret recipes. Top marks go to the fried catfish, hash brown casserole, campfire brisket & the biscuits

We go camping at Farragut every summer. For sure take advantage of their three 18-hole Disc Golf Courses. They host the national championships there because the courses are so well done and definitely challenging. They also have a 9-hole beginner Disc Golf course great for kids! If you don’t own any discs, they can be bought at the Park office/store for a reasonable price. The old frisbees aren’t adequate for these courses. And a bonus, ALL their courses are free and it’s first come, first served. Of course, you gotta spend at least a day at Silverwood, too!
