Ione Washington City and Real Estate Information

A Whistle Stop Town 

In Ione on a crisp fall morning, a train whistle can be heard in the distance. Visitors from all over the world await the conductor's voice announcing, "All Aboard!" The North Pend Oreille Valley Lion's Excursion Train is about to begin its trip from the Ione Depot to Metaline Falls and back again. This two-hour ride gives toursits a chance to experience traveling on a train of yesteryear through some of Pend Oreille County's most scenic country and often times sight wildlife as the train winds its way through the countryside. A stop on the trestle spanning the Pend Oreille River gives passengers a birds-eye-view of Box Canyon Dam, Pend Orielle Utility District's generation plant.
