Railroad Ranch
State Park's main tourist attraction. Railroad Ranch was born in 1902 as a working ranch whose main objective was not profit, but recreation for the ranch's owners, who were mostly railroad management from the Union Pacific. In 1977, the Harriman family deeded the ranch and its property to the state of Idaho. Most of the buildings still stand, and the ranch still hosts an active cattle operation. more info

You can take a self-guided tour of the ranch any time; just pick up one of the detailed brochures from the visitor center. They'll describe the 28 buildings and building sites and explain their purposes. Guided tours are also available. Park entrance fees are $3 per vehicle. Check out the park's cross-country ski trails, the area's best, in winter. A riding stable rents horses in summer. See Harriman Ranch Trail Rides for details.
