Farragut State Park is a state park of Idaho, USA, on the southern tip of the Lake Pend Oreille in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains in Kootenai County. The site formerly held the Farragut Naval Training Station, a major training base of the U.S. Navy during World War II. The base was named after David Farragut, the first admiral in the U.S. Navy and the leading naval officer during the Civil War.
The 4,000-acre (16 km2) park is located 5 miles (8 km) east of Athol in the Idaho Panhandle. It is about 30 miles (50 km) northeast of Coeur d'Alene.
