Harriman State Park
“Harriman State Park lies within an 11,000-acre wildlife refuge in the greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Moose, Elk, and Sandhill Cranes are common, as is North America's largest waterfowl, the Trumpeter Swan. Known as one of the best fly-fishing streams in the nation, the Henrys Fork meanders for eight miles through Harriman. Over 20 miles of trails are available for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and cross county skiing.”

Island Park Reservoir
At Island Park Reservoir, fishing season is year-round for rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, coho salmon, yellow perch, and bluegill. Visitors may drive across the top of the dam for scenic views of the Centennial Mountains and Box Canyon.

Mesa Falls
“Upper and Lower Mesa Falls offer views of the Island Park 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
“One hundred and twenty million gallons of pure water a day -- enough to meet the water needs of a million people -- surge out of the ground here. A short distance from the glassy pool is a bridge. Toss bread crumbs into the water from it, and you'll see that constant flow (at a year-round temperature of 52 degrees) and the clean gravel bottom make for perfect trout habitat. Big Springs' trout get BIG. Leave your fishing pole in the car, though: No fishing is allowed until below the outlet to Henry's Lake, several miles away.

Take the short walking trail around the pond to reach Johnny Sack's cabin. Johnny was a German immigrant who built his cozy cabin and its furnishings by hand out of local trees. He also built a water wheel turned by spring water tumbling out of the hillside. The wheel provided electricity and brought water uphill to the cabin. Johnny's old place is now a visitor center and an attraction in its own right.

Your other Big Springs alternative is to rent a boat from Mack's Inn and float the gentle Henry's Fork's 5-mile-long National Water Trail.”

Golf
“This beautiful nine hole golf course is located among the pines in a sportsman’s paradise. It was built in 1970 and is a private golf course open to the public. It is a high altitude (6600 feet) short season course located about 35 miles south of Yellowstone Park. The avid golfer can expect great scenery here.  Middle Tees are 2668 yards par 35. Forward Tees are 2668 yards also with par 35. Rental carts are available as well as rental clubs.”

Fly fishing
If you want to fish the Henry's Fork (one of the most famous fly-fishing areas in the world) you can buy a non-resident limited time (three or five days) license, but most of the river is catch-and-release only.  Gear can be rented from Island Park or Idaho Falls.  If you are interested, let us know and we’ll find out more information.
