Idaho – Farragut SP


Farragut state park is a 4000 acre park in northern Idaho at the southern tip of Lake Pend Oreille in the Coeur d’Alene Mountains. It was used in WW2 as a training campus for the navy due to the size and depth of the lake. 300k sailors trained there over the course of it’s 30 months in operation. It was very pretty.

While the park was nice, I do have some complains with the costs. So Idaho is one of those ‘screw you’ to visitors charging double to enter the parks over what residents pay, $14 per day vs. $7. And they charge an additional fee for out of state for camping fees. So the cost for one night at an electric only (water shut off) came to something like $77. We can say we’ve been to Idaho and can also say we won’t be coming back.
