ATV Riding in Island Park, Idaho
ATV riding in Island Park is just as fun as snowmobiling in this area.
The reason is due to a huge amount of snowmobile trail system open to ATVs in the non-winter months.
What this means is several hundred miles of great trails, in any direction, providing easy access to a
variety of amazing destinations and incredible scenery!
Ride out to Big Springs, Bishop Mountain Lookout, or to the top of Sawtell Peak for a spectacular view of the Red Rock Basin, Mount Jefferson,
Henry's Lake and Henry's Lake Flat. Another popular trail to make your way around Island Park is the Railroad Right of Way Trail. This
is the old Union Pacific Railroad bed that runs approximately 23 miles through Island Park.
Access points to the R.O.W trail are at the crossings of the following roads: Big Springs Loop Road,
Number 059, Chick Creek Road, Number 291 and Eccles Road, Number 112. This trail is used as an ATV, mountain bike
and horse trail in the summer and is maintained as a snowmobile trail during the winter months.
ATV rentals are available with immediate access to the trail system in just about any direction you choose to travel.
The general rule-of-thumb is this: If it's gravel, you can ride it - If it's paved or gated, you can't.
See sidebar for rental options and contact information.
(Note: The Railroad Right of Way Trail is closed to all motorized vehicles wider than 48" except snowmobiles. The trail is closed
during the sandhill crane nesting period (May 1 through June 15) from the Chick Creek Road Crossing to the Trude Road Crossing.)
