Stanley, Idaho

A calm lake at the foot of the Sawtooth Range, five minutes off the Salmon River road.

The jagged Sawtooth peaks rise straight above this lake, and the reflections are the main draw. There is a boat ramp, picnic area and campground, and a swim beach on warm days. Stanley town and its hot springs are a short drive away.

Good to know

  • Early morning gets the best reflections
  • Forest road is sealed to the lake
