Harriman State Park of Idaho Reviews

Great place to snow shoe or cross country ski and see beautiful scenery & Trumpeter Swans

Beautiful location. Great lodging. Jr Ranger Program. Convenient proximity.

Super pretty. Went during July 4th weekend and didn't feel too crowded. Beautiful views and lots of walking/hiking trails. Would definitely visit again. $5 to get in, so bring cash.

We take kids from our school up for 4 days and stay in the bunkhouse. And they have a great kitchen area that provide seating for all the kids. It is a great area and the kids had a good time.

Such a magical wonderfull place! The historic buildings are like stepping back in time,you can almost feel how it was like way back when,its a Wildlife Refuge so when hiking the Whimsical trails you never know what kind of little or big critter you will encounter.You can Snowshoe, cross country ski or ride your fat bike in the winter,stay in a rustic yurt or a historical cabin that Harriman has for rent,but no matter when you go to Harriman State Park it will always be a memorable time.

Beautiful area with rich history. Early settlers' homes, barns, and other outbuildings restored and preserved.

Fantastic Park for picnics, watching wildlife and taking a horse back ride. I suggest the 1 hour ride for beginners, 4 hour for a long and fun trip up the mountain to overlook the valley. Prices are very reasonable.

Went horseback riding for an environmental science field trip. It was beautiful.

Very peaceful place to be, the walk around the lake was a little far from the trail. Lots of different birds to hear and see. I enjoyed my visit even though trails were closed

Harriman State Park is a beautiful place! Originally owned by the Harriman family, they gave the land to the state so the world could enjoy the beauty which lies there in. Full of pine trees and many small lakes, with the Snake River winding through out, hosting Beautiful trumpeter swans, geese and all sorts of Wildlife. Those who manage Harriman State Park have done a wonderful job in creating activities, whether it be a Moonlight Serenade, Halloween activity, elk bugling, cross country skiing or riding a horse through the property as the owners originally did. I encourage everyone to look up Harriman State Park and see all the activities they offer. You can take your family here for great reunions and enjoy the peace and tranquility of this land. Stay In the original farm house or the bunk house. There are the Milk Barn, the Carriage Barn and many more buildings to explore. Harriman State Park is open winter and summer. The farm is a must-see if you enjoy cross country skiing or just exploring nature.

management slipping...good local views of historic area

Another neat gem tucked away in SouthEast Idaho. Great trails for horses, bikers or hikers. If you get a chance take a walking tour through the old Harriman Ranch. Way to go Idaho!

This was a nice stop on our way to Yellowstone. A lot of nice hikes.

It has nice trails for cross-country skiing in the winter. When my wife and I went, it seems that we had the whole place to ourselves.

Beautiful area; it was a nice place for a picnic. The 5 dollar day pass was well worth it even for a few hours. The staff were all very friendly.

A hidden gem - this is very different from Teton & Yellowstone: a super-quiet, peaceful place that, instead of high mountain landscapes offers wide-open grasslands, pristine lakes & fens and fragrant forests (plus a really quaint ranch!) you can explore without running into other people all the time. The park staff are the nicest people ever, we felt more like a part of the family than like mere visitors. My kids and I loved it.

Gorgeous hiking trails, fun cabins that can be rented, plenty of moose to watch, be sure to try the horse back riding, super friendly and a great way to see harriman.

Beautiful place, would make for a great wedding venue

Amazing Teton views, birds, and beautifully restored old barns, buildings and cabins.

We love going to Herriman! Haunts of Harriman is our favorite!

One of the prettiest places in Wyoming. Great in summer and winter. World class Nordic Skiing venue.

Perfect to spend a day with the family, endless activities, very good mountain biking.

Beautiful park and a real gem for Idaho to have. Cross country skiing there was awesome.

Horse ride was a great adenture!! I would recommend the 2 hour ride!! Views are axing and staff was great!

Great trails for hiking or biking, family friendly, awesome views. All around great place to spend some time with nature.

This park is a hidden gem! Restored buildings, lots of history and amazing views of the river and land surrounding the park. Beautiful!

My favorite place to stay in a yurt. This place is my second home.

Very unique park and there's more and more to the park if you keep digging for sights to see.

Fun place to visit on a bike or on snowshoes. Beware of horse droppings in the summer!

Great place for Mountain biking. Bring your fish pole! Very close, like 3ish miles from Riverside Campground and you can access from snowmobile trails, instead of riding Hwy 20!

Great opportunity to see wildlife, and explore nature!

Fantastic fly fishing. Be at the top of your game. The fish are wary and smart.

There is a visitor station here that sells the most authentic souvenirs in the state, so you got your kid a stereotypical teddy bear that everyone else has, how about an Idaho black bear or a mtn blue bird plushie. Most original gifts award.

Awesome beginner and intermediate single track mountain biking great hiking and horse back trails

Had a great time! The staff is knowledge and had alot of great history!Also a ton of birds!

Went cross-country skiing there. About 2 feet of snow, well packed and groomed. For a small $5.00 fee you can ski through some of the most beautiful scenery around. Lots of water birds, beautiful wide trails, or if you prefer take a second on single-track trails through the trees. The warming yurt, provided by the Idaho Falls Nordic Ski Patrol is a wonderful lunch stop. I highly recommend this adventure.

Did some family photos here and it's a great place. I usually go here for bridals and photos and videos. It's also a great place to go out in nature and meditate.

What is not to love?: Star gazing, ranger-led hikes, mountain biking, beautiful scenery, xc skiing in winter, moose, birds, and wildflowers.

A very pretty setting with the ri b.c er, hills and birds.

What kind of park doesn't let you walk your dog on the trails?

Beautiful section of the Henry Fork of Snake river. Difficult trout

Very nice and big state park. Lots of trails for you to explore the area. I went in winter to do some cross country skiing. Mostly easy to moderate trails, not to bad for beginners. Plenty of warming hunts, and you can see swans and ducks down by the river.

Historic train town, antique farming equipment, and geological & ecological history

This park is mainly used for going on horse rides. However you can go to a parking spot with great views of the river with mountains in distance. You quickly see why the head of union pacific railroad owned a good part of the land here. There is a nice 1.5 mile walk that goes along a nice lake with trumpet swans and pelicans. However, it was a little muddy for most of that hike along the lake.

I haven't stayed in the yurts for a couple of years ask my timing for the reservations was not cohesive but they and the staff were wonderful. I highly recommend a stay at the yurts as they are comfortable, convenient, and effervescently cool.

Beautiful countryside with a huge network of paths to walk, bike, ride horses, and even cross-country ski in the winter. Has a few historical cottages you can peruse, and even rent for family or work events. I've been in both winter and summer, and each is a unique experience. You can easily get lost if you don't pay attention to where you are going, and the maps they provide are difficult to read (and find where you are).

Amazing park full of birds! Bring your telephoto lens or binoculars.

Awesome park full of wilderness and wildlife. Especially great in the winter when Trumpeter Swans gather on the open water.

Loved our stay at Harriman state park. We stayed in the back country yurt and it was beautiful. The walk there is a mile and a half and is very scenic. There is so much wild life and is so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back to do it again.

We did the horseback ride in the evening to hear the elks bugel. The staff were great and it was an amazing experience!

A beautiful park with flat and easy trails and lots of birds. The guided tour of the historical buildings is very interesting, the staff is amazing. A place to enjoy nature without so many crowds.

This is a wonderful place to take the family winter or summer. There is great hikes and activities all the time. Snow shoeing and cross country skiing in the winter.

Great resource! Lots to see & read about the area while viewing original buildings. Only $5 per car entry fee so extremely reasonable. A ranger station available with knowledgeable staff to answer questions about this while region. Highly recommend this as a stop while visiting this part of Idaho.

With some old buildings and pretty vistas, this park is a quick visit. Not much in available to do for kids on a typical day.

Nice park for exploring and hiking. Great historical buildings. One of the prettiest parks in Idaho.

Pretty awesome park. Great for fat bikes, cross country skiing and snow shoeing.

Take note of the bears and be careful, best place to be early for a hike!!

Great facilities. Good trails for cross-country skiing.

snow is great for xcountry. I love the whole silver lake loop

Such a beautiful place to kick around and have a picnic. We enjoyed going through the old buildings and learning a little bit of history of Herriman State Park. We LOVED the three mile loop hike around Silver Lake and along the river!

Beautiful place and usually good trails, surprisingly, I got there before they groomed the trails for the day. But usually they are well groomed and taken care of. It was fun braking trail for a change around the back side of silver lake.

Brilliant recreation playground and place to learn about the cultural and natural history of the area
