Silverwood Theme Park is an amusement park located near the city of Athol in northern Idaho, United States, near the city of Coeur d'Alene, approximately 47 miles (76 km) from Spokane, Washington on US 95. The park opened on June 20, 1988.

From 1973 to 1988, the land, along with a fully functioning airstrip, was operated as the Henley Aerodrome, named after the family from whom Norton bought it in 1981.
