The area was known as Island Park long before the 33-mile -long town was incorporated. The area known as Island Park is mostly a large crater or caldera named the Henry's Fork Caldera that was created by the same hotspot that created the earlier Island Park Caldera and the later Yellowstone Caldera. In addition to the Henry's Fork Caldera, about a third of what is known as Island Park, is north of this caldera and extends across Henry's Lake Flat, across Henry's Lake, and to the Idaho/Montana border. Henry's Lake Flat is a flat bottomed valley between high mountain ranges with Henry's Lake at the northwest end of the flats. Mt. Jefferson, south of Henry's Lake, is at 10,203 feet and Targhee Peak, north of Henry's Lake is at 10,240 feet. The most famous of Island Park's peaks, however, is the 9,886 foot Sawtell Peak due to both its beauty and to its strong resemblance to a Native American chief's profile while napping. It has also been called Chief Rains in the Face. You can drive to the top of Sawtell Peak where there is an FAA radar dome. It is also south of Henry's Lake near Mt. Jefferson and is a landmark visible from nearly anywhere in Island Park.
Although much smaller than either the Island Park Caldera or the Yellowstone Caldera, the Henry's Fork Caldera is still one of the largest calderas in the world and is the only large caldera in the Yellowstone region that is plainly visible. It has a nearly level 20 mile wide circular floor that slopes slightly towards the southeast. The caldera floor is at about 6,000 feet of elevation with the rim generally being several hundred feet higher. The Henry's Lake Flat area, north of the caldera, is a little higher. Henry's Lake is at 6,500 feet with the flats sloping slightly southward towards the caldera. The Island Park area is mostly forested with many meadows and grasslands. It is mostly level but is surrounded by forested hills and high mountains in the north. The Henry's Fork of the Snake River meanders through Island Park with its headwaters at Henry's Lake and at Big Springs. The Henry's Fork is impounded by Island Park Dam to form Island Park Reservoir at the rim of the caldera just north and just outside of the caldera. In fact, the entire south bank of Island Park Reservoir is formed by the northern slope of the caldera. The Henry's Fork crosses through the caldera and then cascades off from it at Upper and Lower Mesa Falls.
The geography of Island Park is actually unique and distinctive. It is largely flat and it has unusually high precipitation. Island Park is at the same 6,000 feet of elevation as Teton Valley, Idaho, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, or the Centennial Valley, Montana yet these nearby areas are semi arid prairie or even desert. Island Park is different from almost anywhere in the world. The Snake River Plain that was also formed by the Yellowstone hotspot is in line with the gap between the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges along the West Coast of the United States so that there is a moisture channel that extends from the distant Pacific Ocean, between the Cascades and Sierra Nevada, though the Rocky Mountains to Island Park.
Fremont County is a county located in the USA state of Idaho. The county was established in 1893. It was named for the explorer John C. Fremont. The southern part of the county cover the northeast tip of the Snake River Basin, with the mountains of the continental divide forming its northern boundary. Montana lies to the north, and Wyoming to the east. A portion of Yellowstone National Park reaches into the county.
