Island Park, Idaho, gets its name from its unique geography. The area is known for having numerous islands scattered throughout its lakes and rivers. These islands are formed by the winding waterways that flow through the region, creating a network of interconnected land masses surrounded by water. The presence of these islands in the park’s lakes and rivers is what inspired the name “Island Park.”

When visiting Island Park you will find many large meadows surrounded by pine forests that definitely feel like islands!
