Bayhorse is a ghost town in Custer County, Idaho, United States, founded in 1877.[1] After a new gold mine failed, silver was discovered in the area and a mine was started. Bayhorse was originally established by the silver mine.
In 1976, the entire community was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1] The town property was purchased by the state in 2006 and opened to the public in 2009 as part of the Land of the Yankee Fork State Park.[2]
