Harriman State Park of Idaho*
Master planning and design services were provided to Trout Architects of Boise, Idaho for recreation and historic district improvements at this 11,000-acre state park in eastern Idaho. A concept plan was created for the developed area of the park, including the historic Railroad Ranch. Concepts that were constructed included a new entry road and gate feature, and a new overnight retreat center with a courtyard containing a stone fire ring and rustic log benches. Features to be implemented in a future phase include a new equestrian day use facility and campground, yurt camping, and trail system. Photos courtesy of Trout Architects. *AECOM project.
