About Island Park Trails
Island Park sits inside an ancient volcanic caldera with over 950 miles of groomed snowmobile trails in winter and extensive OHV/ATV trail networks in summer. Many rental companies offer direct trail access — you can ride straight from the shop onto the trail system.
Idaho OHV sticker required for ATV/UTV riding on public lands. Most rental companies include this in the rental fee. The cabin has ample parking for trailers if you bring your own machines.
