Rivers and Lakes

The Fall River and adjacent rivers are legendary. The Henry's Fork of the Snake River, the Warm river, the Teton river, the Madison river, the Gallatin River, the Buffalo River, the many other rivers and streams in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem and Upper Snake River Basin, and of course the Fall River are renown as world-class fly fishing destinations. The crisp clean, waters tap right out of Yellowstone.

Pristine lakes dot the region. Whether you're a boater, floater, photographer, or another spieces of lake recreationalist in-between, your choices are many. Nearby lakes include: Island Park Reservoir, Ashton Reservoir, Pallisades Reservoir, Henrys Lake, Hebgen Lake, Grassy Lake, Jenny Lake, Jackson Lake, Lewis Lake, Shoshone Lake and Yellowstone Lake.

National parks

Two of the greatest natural treasures of the United States are in your backyard. Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton Park are a short trip away. Though not a direct route, Ashton, ID, is just 18 miles from the southwest corner of Yellowstone.

National forests, wilderness areas and refugees

Besides Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks there is an abundance of other National Park System land in the region. National forests include Caribou-Targhee, Bridger-Teton, Gallatin, Beaverhead-Dearlodge, Challis, Custer and Shoshone.

Wilderness areas include Jedediah, Lee Metcalf, Absaroka-Beartooth, Teton, Washake and Gros Ventre. Red-Rocks Lake and Camas wildlife refugees are nearby. The National Elk Refuge is north of Jackson. Other points of note are the close by St. Anthony Sand Dunes with over 10,000 acres of dunes, the John D. Rockefeller Jr. Memorial Parkway and Craters of the Moon National Monument.

Idaho state parks and recreation areas

Idaho claims the largest amount of wilderness area in the lower 48 states. Henrys Lake State Park and Harriman State Park and wildlife refuge are notable and near. Just across the state line is Squirrel Meadows recreation area.

Waterfalls

Why did they name it the Fall River? Because of the many waterfalls formed as the river carved its way out of the southwest corner of Yellowstone National Park. Up-river, Cave Falls is a spectacular sight. Nearby Upper Mesa Falls and Lower Mesa Falls have bigger dropoffs than you might anticipate.

Fly fishing

Simply put, eastern Idaho and the Upper Snake River Basin is the flyfishing mecca of the world (Orvis World Headquarters). An angler's paradise, catch Rainbow Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Brook Trout and Hybrid Cutthroat-Rainbow Trout. Arrange guided fishing tours or tie your own fly (maybe a hares ear nymph or hares ear parachute) and pull up your waders. Incidentally, professional fly fishing outfitters are not allowed to float the Fall River, the blue-ribbon fly fishing is yours to enjoy.

Hiking, backpacking, horseback riding, biking,
mountain biking, nordic skiing and snowshoeing

Hiking trails, equestrian trails, bike trails, mountain bike trails, nordic trails and snowshoeing trails are everywhere. Check individual national parks, wilderness areas and state park websites for a cornucopia of possibilities. Set up camp along the way. Birdwatch, photography, observe the wildlife — you decide. Challenging mountain climbing and rock climbing terrain is abundant.

Golfing

Eastern Idaho and western Wyoming are brimming with elite and recreational golf courses tucked into beautiful settings. There's the Timberline and Aspen Acres courses in Ashton, the Fremont Golf Course in St. Anthony, the Headwaters course at Teton Springs and the Hale Irwin designed Teton Reserve course, both in Victor, Targhee Village Golf Course In Alta, Wyo., near Driggs and The Links at Teton Peaks course in Driggs, Teton Lakes and Rexburg Golf Course in Rexburg and Jefferson Hills in Rigby. In Idaho Falls there's the Idaho Falls Country Club, Pinecrest Golf Course, Sage Lakes and Sand Creek golf courses. In Jackson, Wyoming, the Robert Trent-Jones II designed Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club and the Teton Pines Country Club designed by Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay.

Rafting, floating, kayaking, canoeing, boating and sailing
and windsurfing

Like to play in the water? Start your kayak float upriver at the Concrete CCC bridge and navigate class 3+ rapids and put out at Hares Ear Preserve 5 miles downstream. Take a guided raft trip down the Snake River or put in your own boat. Again, like hiking, the opportunities are too many to list. Check out the National Parks and recreation area's websites for your choice of water fun.

Cruising

Head 1.5 miles east and you're on Highway 32, one leg of the Teton Scenic Byway. Follow the road north and you're on the Mesa Falls Scenic Byway. Take the Teton Loop Scenic Byway up through Yellowstone, down through Grand Teton National Park and over the Teton pass for incredible vistas. Or, take a road trip to Sun Valley in Ketchum.

Snowmobiling and ATV recreation

There are over 7000 miles of snowmobile trails in Idaho. Squirrel Meadows is a popular site and BLM lands and roads are accessible and maintained.

Idaho history

The Snake River Plain is rich in history. The valley was originally inhabited by Shoshone and Bannock Indian tribes. Explorer and mountain man John Colter left the Lewis and Clark expedition and trekked across what was later dubbed Pierre's Hole, a fur trapper's rendezvous west of the Tetons. The Oregon trail also crossed the area. Many museums and points of interest, including the Upper Snake River Valley Historical Museum, the Fremont County Historical Society Museum and the Teton County Historical Museum in Driggs document the area's past.

Shopping

The stores and Grand Teton Mall in nearby Idaho Falls will sell most of what you can't find locally. Be sure to browse the western boutiques and art galleries in Jackson Hole, and do some antiquing along the way. Salt Lake City, 3 1/5 hours away can fill your big city needs.

Miscellaneous eastern Idaho

Try your luck digging for opals at the Spencer Opal Mine and cool down later at the pool at Green Canyon Hot Springs, a local favorite.
