Harriman State Park is in the heart of a 16,000-acre wildlife reserve in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. This sanctuary protects a diversity of birds and mammals similar to those living in nearby Yellowstone National Park.

The 11,700 acres of forests, meadows, lakes and streams belong to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and protect a wide variety of birds and mammals similar to those in Yellowstone National Park.

Activities include hiking, fishing, horseback riding, mountain biking, nature observation, cross-country skiing and picnicking.

Resident wildlife includes trumpeter swans, among the world's heaviest flying bird, and bald eagles, elk, moose and beaver.

Meandering nine miles through park meadows and forests is the gentle Henrys Fork of the Snake River.

Twenty-seven of the park's original Railroad Ranch buildings, once the private retreat of wealthy railroad families, have been restored and four are open to the public for tours.

Cabins, a group facility and two yurts are available for overnight rental.
