No exploration of central Idaho is truly complete without visiting the legendary waters of Redfish Lake, a massive, eleven-mile-long alpine marvel nestled directly at the base of the towering Sawtooth Range. Named for the historic, brilliant runs of sockeye salmon that once turned the waters a vibrant crimson color, this spectacular lake serves as a premier destination for every imaginable outdoor activity. Visitors can relax on the expansive sandy beaches, rent motorized pontoon boats from the historic marina, or catch a water taxi across the vast expanse to reach the secluded southern inlet trailheads. From the isolated southern shores, hikers can tackle world-class paths leading deep into the high-country wilderness toward Alpine Lake, Cramer Lakes, and the dramatic Baron Divide. Combining the comfort of a historic lodge with raw, untamed wilderness access, it stands as the ultimate mountain playground.
