PARK UPDATE:
ATTENTION: Dogs are not permitted beyond the parking lots. Harriman State Park of Idaho is a waterfowl and wildlife refuge. Dogs cannot be left unattended and must always be on a six-foot leash. Department employees may impound or remove any stray or unattended animals at the owner’s expense. (IDAPA 26.01. 20.175. 09)
There is a $7 Motor Vehicle Entrance Fee (MVEF) per vehicle to visit the Park. Your receipt tab from Harriman is also good for the day at Mesa Falls and Henrys Lake State Park. You can purchase a 2023 Annual MVEF Pass for $80 at Park Headquarters. Vehicles registered in the State of Idaho can purchase a $10 Idaho State Park Passport from the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Please Be Bear Aware! The season from May-September sees heightened bear activity in the park, requiring visitors to use extra caution when recreating. Please read park signage where posted, stop by the visitor center to speak with a Ranger, and be aware of your surroundings when visiting. Remember to make noise; travel in groups; only hike/bike during daylight hours.
Guided tours of the Historic Railroad Ranch buildings are available 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from Memorial Day Weekend to Labor Day.
