Near Henry's there is the Targhee Creek trail. If you take the highway from Island park resort going towards West Yellowstone watch for the first (I think) turnoff on the left. It is just before the road makes a curve to the right and the hills narrow up on the road. I don't believe there is a loop or anything so it's just go until you want to turn around, but I hiked in there for scouts years ago and enjoyed it. There is also some areas to hike all around that area. The Big Springs area east of Macks Inn and Island Park Village has a boardwalk nature trail. Good for kids and usually lots of wildlife. I know there are more, but can't remember specifics. As for the park I would recomend a book called Yellowstone Day Hikes. Will give you tons of info for in the park.
