Visit Big Springs and see the beautiful carpentry work of Johnny Sack’s cabin.

Big Springs is one of the headwaters of the Snake River, and it produces around 120 million gallons of water per day to keep the Snake River flowing year long. Enjoy views of the crisp, crystal clear water flowing down to the Snake River and Henry’s Lake, an excellent place for catching large trout fish. Fishing is not allowed at Big Springs, but you can head to Henry's Lake if you're in the mood for fishing. A bridge over Big Springs allows guests to enjoy the beautiful scenery, giving everyone a chance to feed the fish around the spring’s outlet. Keep your eyes peeled for other animals such as moose, deer, and eagles as you take time to enjoy the beauty of nature.

Feel free to take the short trail to visit Johnny Sack’s cabin after stopping in Big Springs. Johnny Sack is a well-known German carpenter, and after moving to America in the 1920s, he settled in the area known as Mack’s Inn. Admire the skill and talent of Johnny Sack and learn more about his life story while you're here. Johnny built this cabin using simple hand tools in roughly three years, and this cabin has been preserved since his death in 1957. If you're driving through Island Park, Idaho, you won't want to miss out on Big Springs.
