Living in Island Park

Living in Island Park offers mountain living at its finest, set along the gateway to Yellowstone National Park in Fremont County. This unique high-altitude community stretches 33 miles along Highway 20, earning it the title of the longest "Main Street" in America. With a year-round population under 300, Island Park provides a close-knit community where neighbors know each other by name and life moves at a peaceful pace. Outdoor recreation defines daily life here, from world-class fly fishing on the Henry's Fork of the Snake River to snowmobiling on hundreds of miles of winter trails. Summers bring warm days perfect for hiking in Targhee National Forest, while winters deliver over 200 inches of snow for those who embrace the cold. Though small, the area maintains essential services like grocery stores and gas stations, with larger shopping and healthcare available in Rexburg or Idaho Falls about an hour away. For those seeking a true mountain lifestyle with unmatched access to natural beauty and outdoor adventure, Island Park delivers an authentic Idaho experience surrounded by some of the West's most spectacular scenery.
