Because of its size and variety of available activities, Farragut State Park is excellent for hosting large gatherings. The park features several beaches along Lake Pend Oreille. It is also an excellent wildlife viewing area, home to whitetail deer, badgers, black bears, coyotes, bobcats, and an occasional elk.

During World War II, the site was occupied by Farragut Naval Training Station. Many of Idaho's most beautiful and scenic spots are preserved in the Idaho State Parks system.
