Snowmobile & Gear Rentals in Island Park by IP Backcountry

Island Park, Idaho, positioned just east of Yellowstone National Park, offers one of the West’s most varied and thrilling outdoor playgrounds. Island Park Backcountry Rentals stands out here as a trusted outfitter for snowmobile rentals and backcountry gear that tap into this vast wilderness. Their full-day snowmobile rentals unlock remote trails, frozen lakes, and high-elevation forests carved into the region’s volcanic geology, giving riders access to an authentic winter adventure.

The area is defined by dense stands of lodgepole pine and a rugged volcanic landscape shaped by the Henry’s Fork Caldera. Trails such as the Two Top Trail provide access to wide alpine meadows and glacial valley views, while more seasoned riders can venture into less-trodden spots for untracked powder and quiet solitude. Island Park Backcountry Rentals features nearly new snowmobiles that consistently receive praise for performance and reliability, making it easy—and safe—to cover long distances in changing winter conditions.

The team’s hands-on approach and laid-back attitude create a rental experience that feels more personal than corporate.
