Farragut State Park, Public park on Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho, US

Farragut State Park covers 4,000 acres at the southern tip of Lake Pend Oreille in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, five miles east of Athol. Dark evergreen forest lines the shore and the steep mountain slope above the grey water. The former naval station grounds hold campsites, trails, beaches and the Museum at the Brig.

The grounds were the Farragut Naval Training Station during World War II, where over 293,000 sailors received basic training in 30 months; the last recruit graduated in March 1945 and the base was decommissioned in June 1946. From 1946 to 1949 it housed Farragut College and Technical Institute. The state legislature created Farragut State Park in 1966.

The Museum at the Brig displays military objects from the World War II era, when this land served as a training center. Visitors can see original artifacts and documents that tell the story of this military chapter.

The park has 223 camping sites, ten cabins, and group facilities spread throughout its grounds. About 40 miles of hiking and biking trails run through the area, making it easy to explore on foot or by bicycle.

The park hosted the 1967 World Scout Jamboree, the only time the event was held in the United States until 2019. While travelling to the moon aboard Apollo 11 on 18 July 1969, astronaut Neil Armstrong, an Eagle Scout from Ohio, sent a greeting to the Scouts at the national jamboree in Idaho.
