Harriman State Park |
|
| Harriman State Park, also known as the Railroad Ranch, is a tribute to several East Coast notables who brought the iron horse to Idaho. The Harriman and Guggenheim families, operated the Railroad Ranch, finding a balance between conservation, ranching and the needs of small number of summer guests. A great concern for preserving the magnificent wildlife habitat prompted the Harriman family to donate the 15,000 acre ranch to the State of Idaho.

Mesa Falls |
|
| Mesa Falls offer views of the IslandPark caldera's edge, dropping 105' and 65' respectively. These dramatic drops were created between 600,000 and two million years ago when an immense shield volcano exploded repeatedly finally collapsing, leaving behind the world's largest caldera. Accessed by turning off of Highway 20 onto State Highway 47 and following the signs, the setting of the falls is the perfect location for a picnic or short hike.

Big Springs & Johnny Sack Cabin |
|
| Big Springs & Johnny Sack Cabin - the source of the Henry's Fork of the Snake River, is also well worth a visit. Because of Big Spring constant 52 degree temperature and crystal clear flow, the Henry's Fork is a favorite early in the fishing season when other nearby rivers are cold and muddy from the sediment picked up by the melting snow. Big Springs is also near the beginning of a beautiful 5 mile canoe or boat trip along a stretch of a National Scenic Water Trail. Other activities in Island Park include a bicycle ride or hike on the Old Union Pacific railroad bed, a game of golf at the Island Park Resort, a horseback trail ride or a visit to Johnny Sack's cabin.
