The WaterLife Discovery Center is a habitat education and interpretive area on the shores of the Pend d’Oreille River near Sandpoint. Its development has been a unique grassroots project over many years of planning and implementation. The property consists of 3.5 acres of interpretive exhibits and a 6.5-acre forested wetland with trails and interpretive signs. This area is home to white-tailed deer, moose, muskrat, mink, and river otters. Bald eagles, osprey and waterfowl grace the river while woodpeckers and songbirds prefer the wetland forest. The property hosts a self-guided educational center that combines a fish hatchery, nature trails, overlook bridges, wildlife watching areas, and underwater viewing opportunities. The Foundation awarded the Center funds to create a wonderful facility where the community, teachers, students, and visitors enjoy an “Idaho wildlife experience.”
