A lot of people think the best time to visit Island Park is in the summer. While the summer is indeed beautiful (especially in the spring time with all the flowers,) the beauty of the winter is equally stunning. You don’t have to be a snowmobiler or skier to have fun here in the winter. You can bring sleds, or tubes, or garbage bags to fill with snow and slide on. You can build snowmen. You can make snow angels. You can visit Yellowstone in a heated snow coach (not to be missed.) You can just go on a photographic junket. Or you can rent a snowmobile. Or you can . . . well, you get the idea. There is plenty to do here for everyone. Rentals are available at Macks Inn, the pines, Island Park Village, and a host of private cabins. As you can see from this photo, this is a great time to visit Island Park. Dont’ wait for summer.
All I can say, is this place is MAGIC, year round. Winter does hold one advantage…the crowds are manageable. Starting each day, with the serene beauty of the river mists and swans…keeps your cup full of goodness.
