Silverwood Theme Park is a large theme park located in North Idaho, United States near the town of Athol on highway US 95. The park opened in 1987 as the brain project of owner Gary Norton. Originally the park included a few carnival rides, a main street with shops, and an authentic steam train that traveled in a 30-minute loop around the owner's property. As the years went by, Silverwood expanded by adding more rides and attractions. In later years, the park's popularity soared with the opening of the popular Timber Terror (1996) and Tremors (1999) wooden roller coasters. In 2006 Silverwood introduced 'Panic Plunge' - the 141ft. drop tower.

In 2003, Boulder Beach - a 12-acre themed water park - opened adjacent to Silverwood Theme Park. Boulder Beach shares its maingate with Silverwood, meaning that visitors to Silverwood also are admitted to Boulder Beach for one price. Boulder Beach includes various water slides, a wave pool, and a lazy river. The addition of this water park proved extremely popular and turned Silverwood into a true multiple-day destination.

Garfield is the official mascot of Silverwood Theme Park.
