Idaho State Highway 200 (SH-200) is a two-lane highway from Ponderay, Idaho eastward to the Montana border. The highway has been dedicated as a national scenic byway and given the name Pend Oreille Scenic Byway^[2].

Route description

Idaho SH-200 starts at a junction with U.S. Highway 95 in Ponderay, a small community north of Sandpoint. The highway heads eastward along the north shores of lake Pend Oreille at the very feet of the Cabinet Mountains with several turnouts and scenic overlooks. After the town of Clark Fork it then enters the Clark Fork River Valley following the Clark Fork River and ends at the Montana border just before Heron, MT where it becomes Montana Highway 200.

The road passes through the towns of Ponderay, Kootenai, Hope, East Hope, and Clark Fork.

ID-200 is the westernmost portion of a chain of Highway 200s which extends east through Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota. At only 33 miles (53 km) in length, Idaho's Highway 200 is the shortest in the chain while Montana's Highway 200 is the longest. There is another highway called SR 20 in Washington that would complete the chain of Hwy 200s, but ID-200 is no longer directly connected to WA-20. (The concurrency with US 2 from Newport/Oldtown to Ponderay was removed in the early 2010s, however the legacy of the concurrency continues with the mile markers from Ponderay to Montana.)

Major intersections

The entire route is in Bonner County.
