NORTH SHORE PICNIC AREA

North Shore Picnic Area

## Overview

A stay at the historic Redfish Cabin is like having your own private Idaho!
Nestled in the trees above the northern shore of Redfish Lake at an elevation
of 6,570 feet, the historic (Civilian Conservation Corps 1930's era) cabin
offers a perfect getaway for a small family or group of friends. The cabin is
warm and cozy, the views are breathtaking, recreation opportunities abound and
starry nights provide a gateway to heaven. And you can share it all with your
canine family member.  
  
  
The Sawtooth National Recreation Area was established in 1972 for its natural,
scenic, historic, pastoral, and fish and wildlife values. Redfish Lake is by
far the most popular location in the area; however, a fall or winter visit
provides a totally different experience than the "Coney Island" atmosphere of
summer. Available only in the fall and winter, this is a special time of year
where few visitors come to enjoy the beauty and solitude of the lake and
surrounding mountain peaks.  

## Recreation

The cabin provides easy access to a variety of recreation opportunities. In
the fall, trailheads to Bench Lakes, Redfish Creek, Fishhook Creek, and
Marshall Lake, all within half a mile of the cabin, offer access to fabulous
hiking or horseback riding. Snowshoeing and cross-country skiing on un-groomed
trails near the lake offer excellent opportunities for winter recreation.
Quick access to the groomed Stanley to Smiley Creek snowmobile route affords
motorized recreation opportunities. Whether its photography, bird watching,
climbing a mountain or sitting by the fire with a book, there's an activity
for all.

## Facilities

Redfish cabin can accommodate three people on a log bunk bed/futon (single
mattress above, double mattress below). More people can sleep on the floor in
sleeping bags (bring your own bags and pads) for a maximum of six persons.  
  
Winter access (after November 30) is a 2.25 mile snowmobile, snowshoe or ski
along the gently climbing Forest Road 214.  
  
The cabin is equipped with electric lights. The heat source is a gas fireplace
in the living room and electric wall heaters. The kitchen features an electric
stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, pots and pans, dishes and
utensils. There is no running water. There is an outhouse 50 feet from the
cabin. There are picnic tables and a fire ring at the cabin although these
might be buried under the snow in the winter.  
  
The front porch offers stunning views of the Sawtooth Wilderness and Redfish
Lake.  

## Natural Features

Named for the brilliant sockeye salmon that return each year after a 900 mile
journey from the sea, Redfish Lake is the largest lake in the Sawtooth
National Recreation Area. These fish were in such numbers that it's said the
lake would shimmer red. Now endangered, most of the sockeye returning to the
lake are bred in the nearby Sawtooth Fish Hatchery.  
  
  
The 217,000 acre Sawtooth Wilderness provides the backdrop for this dramatic
setting, including the peaks which frame the lake at its south end: Mount
Heyburn at 10,229' (3,118 m) and Grand Mogul at 9,733' (2967 m). Known for
clear air, clean water and classic alpine beauty, this wilderness is home to a
diversity of wildlife including bald eagles, osprey, elk and deer, gray wolf,
mountain goat, and the elusive wolverine.  
  
  

## Nearby Attractions

The nearby small town of Stanley (5 miles north) provides a rural western
atmosphere with limited amenities including lodging, dining, fuel and
groceries in winter. Popular activities in the Sawtooth Valley this time of
year include hunting, hiking, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and hot
springing along the Salmon River.

Point Campground

POINT CAMPGROUND

Redfish Lake is at the headwaters of the Salmon River, whose waters flow north
to meet the Snake River and continue to the Columbia River and the Pacific
Ocean. As late as the 1950's, more than 4,000 sockeye salmon made the annual
900-mile (1,440-km) pilgrimage from the ocean to their spawning grounds in the
Sawtooth Valley. However, in recent years only between 2-20 have returned each
year. In an effort to save the endangered fish, whose bright red color gave
Redfish Lake its name, the National Marine Fisheries Service established a
local hatchery. Since 1999, the lake has been stocked with sockeye salmon.
Bull trout, steelhead and Chinook salmon can also be spotted in the area.
There is a visitor center and Redfish Lake Lodge. Between Little Redfish Lake
and Redfish Lake there are commercially operated showers, a gas station with
propane, a dump station and horse rentals. Little Redfish Lake does not allow
motorboats. Redfish lake campsites that accept reservations include: Sunny
Gulch campsite, Glacier View, Outlet campsite, Point, North Shore picnic area
and Sunny Gulch Pavillion picnic area. Reservations can be made by going to
