Island Park!


Island Park is a fisherman’s paradise both in the summer and winter and Island Park Idaho Fishing is some of the best in the country. Enjoy ice fishing in addition to Henry's Lake's typical production of 13 to 24 inch and occasionally 30 inch cutthroat, rainbow and brook trout. You can float with guide services or stream fish, troll with your own boat or float tube. You'll see moose, elk, bear, and even an occasional bison as you fish in the various areas available.

If you enjoy scenery this is the place for you. Mountains, Valleys, rivers teaming with trout, waterfalls, and grassy meadows filled with flowers and wildlife. There are a lot of walking trails at Island Park. There are many horseback rides available which range from 1 to 3 hour tours. Don't forget your camera. There are designated mountain biking trails also. 
Island Park Snowmobiling is fantastic! There are hundreds of miles of trails. You can rent snowmobiles or take guided tours. These snowmobile trails give access to mountains rising more than 8,000 feet in elevation. There are over 40 miles of cross country ski trails from Island Park to Harriman State Park. If you do not have you own equipment it is available for you at many locations in Island Park.

Island Park Cabins and Cabin Rentals, is located only 15 to 45 minutes from Yellowstone National Park Lodging and Yellowstones West entrance so you can have the best of both worlds when you choose to stay in Island Park Vacation Rentals or Lodging instead of in Yellowstone Cabins or cabin rentals. Island Park is known for its historical land marks such as Big Springs, Mesa Falls, Johnny Sacks Cabin, Quake Lake, and much more.

Idaho Falls Temple!



The Idaho Falls Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is located on a beautiful spot of land overlooking the falls of the Snake River. The land was donated by the Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce. It was completed in 1945.  The Temple is not open to the public, but the visitor's center is located directly in front of it. 
The cornerstone for the Idaho Falls Temple was laid on October 19, 1940. In March 1937 the First Presidency had announced that a temple was planned to be built in Idaho and even as early as 1918 plans for this temple had been discussed.  
On September 23, 1945, the temple was dedicated by Pres. George Albert Smith, who was President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at the time.

Rexburg Tabernacle!

The Tabernacle Building was purchased from the LDS Church after the Teton Dam collapsed and flooded the surrounding communities. This building sustained major damage. But after extensive renovation, the Teton Flood Museum opened the summer of 1982 in the basement of the Rexburg Tabernacle. Currently, the Tabernacle is maintained by the City of Rexburg.

In the renovation process the city was able to have the building listed on the national Register of Historic Places. The grounds have picnic tables for public use and are maintained by the city of Rexburg.

The building is used as a civic auditorium which seats 1000 people and is well known for its excellent acoustics. An Austin pipe-organ was restored to enhance the many musical programs which are offered here.
