What is the largest Recreation Area in the United States?
The Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) located just north of Sun Valley, Idaho, is the largest recreation area in the United States. Covering 756,000 acres, it is slightly larger than the state of Rhode Island and contains six mountain ranges, 42 peaks of over 10,000 feet elevation, and more than 300 alpine lakes. Fishing, hiking, horseback riding and whitewater rafting are just a few of the summer activities available. The River Company operates exclusively in the SNRA.
