Discover St. Anthony: Fort Henry, Greenway, and Sand Dunes

A trip to St. Anthony can include a wide range of different focal points: a historic monument, paved paths along the Henry’s Fork Greenway, and destinations in the area around Saint Anthony. Families and other travelers can therefore put together a stay that combines culture, activity, water, and local events. When searching for a vacation rental, it is helpful to first consider which of these experiences should shape your travel plans.

Fort Henry as a Cultural Point of Reference

The Fort Henry Monument is an established cultural point of reference. It is located on Parker-Salem Highway along the Fort Henry Historic Byway in St. Anthony. The monument was erected to mark the original site of Fort Henry. Anyone interested in the history of a place will find a specific point of connection here during their stay. The site can be viewed as a cultural activity in its own right, without equating it with other excursion destinations.

Paved Paths Along the Henry’s Fork Greenway

The Henry’s Fork Greenway consists of a north and a south section. The paths are paved and suitable for cycling. The Greenway also provides access to the river for fishing. This gives you several options for an active day: You can make cycling the main focus or plan to use the river access for fishing. The distinction between the north and south sections can help guide your own daily planning.

For families with different interests, this area can be a useful conceptual focal point for trip planning: While some travelers may want to explore the paved path by bicycle, someone else may be interested in fishing on the river. The available information does not indicate a specific path length or duration of stay, so the details of the day remain flexible.

Beach and Sand Dunes in the Area

Egin Bench, a beach, is located in the area around Saint Anthony. Also in this area, the Egin Lakes Campground at the St. Anthony Sand Dunes has 48 campsites. These destinations appeal to travelers who want to include time by the water or the landscape of the sand dunes in addition to a cultural stop or a bike ride. Egin Bench and the St. Anthony Sand Dunes represent different travel ideas that you can weigh separately when choosing your accommodation and putting together your excursions.

Local Tradition and Choice of Accommodation

An event is also among the local points of reference mentioned: Since it began, the Free Fisherman's Breakfast has been held in Clyde Keefer Memorial Park in most years. Anyone who wants to include local traditions in their travel plans can consider this breakfast as a separate occasion alongside nature and cultural destinations.

When choosing a vacation rental in St. Anthony, you should therefore first determine the character of the trip you want. If cycling and fishing are the priorities, the Henry’s Fork Greenway is an obvious thematic point of reference. For days focused on culture, the Fort Henry Monument is a suitable focal point in its own right. Those who prefer water and landscapes can consider including Egin Bench or the St. Anthony Sand Dunes.

If you would like to consider additional destinations besides St. Anthony, you can also include Teton and Island Park in your travel plans.
