In 1942, a large United States Naval training station with facilities for 40,000 sailors opened here. From 1946 to 1949, it became Farragut College. When postwar college enrollments slacked off, Farragut State Park was developed here, with accommodations adequate for an International Boy Scout Jamboree in 1967, as well as for national Boy Scout and Girl Scout camping experiences. Idaho's largest state park offers an attractive lake shore setting for thousands of visitors each year.
