Overview

The Redfish Lake Lodge is situated on the north shore of the five-mile long glacial Redfish Lake in the middle of the Sawtooth Mountains. The resort sits on 16 acres of U.S. Forest Service permitted ground. This historic lodge is in a unique setting with excellent access to hiking trails, lakes, and mountain peaks.

Built in 1929, Redfish Lake Lodge has been the destination of many visitors who come to the Sawtooth Mountains and especially to enjoy what is known as the "jewel of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area". Through the years the Lodge has been updated and refurbished and continues to offer a combination of mountain comfort and excellent service.
