or just enjoying Swan Valley.

Mountain River Ranch is run by good friends of mine. Mike and his
wife Julie put on a great show for the whole family at the Meadow Muffin theatre, serve a
great dinner, and provide an all around great time. Truly a great
place for the whole family. There is lodging,
RV parking, trout fishing, and great hospitality.

Granite Creek Guest Ranch is a real working cattle ranch. If
you are looking for a real "western" experience, this is the
place. It is very near the river and the forest, though you never need
to leave the ranch to have a good time.

If you would like a nice private home to rent on the Henry's
Fork, check this. Walk out the front door and start
casting, or put your drift boat in upstream and float into the lodge.
This is a brand new lodge, and as you will see, has first class
accommodations.

you haven't visited Harriman State Park near Island Park, Idaho, you
are missing a truly special place. This is the home of the famous
"railroad ranch". If you fly fish, you have probably heard
about this. Along with the fly fishing, this is one of the top
destinations in the country for cross country skiing. You should plan
to make this a part of your trip to eastern Idaho.
