Beautiful lake with great hiking and biking! Clear clean water for swimming! We did the hike to bridal falls and biked the Elk mountain loop! Lots of fun! And less people than Redfish Lake!

Iron Creek To Sawtooth Lake

Reviewed By CraigH08 - Cincinnati, United States

Hiked on July 22, 2019. Parking lot can squeeze about 35 spaces, at 8:30 am there were 25 cars, at 1:00 pm there were 35 cars with about 10 more pulled off the road. Plenty of room for parking off the road leading to the parking lot if soil is dry enough. Hike is 5 miles out and 5 miles back the same trail (total 10 miles). Trail is well used and easy to follow. The trail was not too hard at all, but seemed like more than 1,700 feet of elevation gain. More switchbacks on trail than I expected. Several creek crossings along the way, but there were good boulders and logs to step on. You come to "Alpine Lake" first. It is not big, but is pretty. If short on time, don't need to walk down to it, as you get great views of it on up the trail. Second lake is really just a small pond that is maybe 1,000 feet from the outfall of Sawtooth Lake. You need to hike to left of this pond to get to Sawtooth Lake. Still a decent amount of snow on Mt. Regan. Two patches of snow on trail at top were less than 100 feet long. The Sawtooth's are beautiful. No litter anywhere. Let's keep it this way! Enjoy!

Redfish Lake

Resort lake in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area.

Reviewed By mikmeh - Boise, United States

Lodge with a restaurant. Marina with boat rentals including pontoons. Boat rentals are dog friendly. At the back of the lake are secluded docks you can tie up at and spend time jumping in the frigid waters. Beautiful beach areas and photo op galore.
