Galena tops out at 8,701 feet and the overlook at the top offers a stunning view of the Sawtooths and the valley where the headwaters of the mighty Salmon River (River of No Return).

Sawtooth country changes people. Its beauty is magnificent and unadulterated, the kind of pure splendor that speaks to your soul as much as your eye. A journey here is a journey for the spirit, where tranquility and adventure walk hand in hand, where harmony and balance are restored. You leave feeling less like a visitor and more like this is where you really belong. It feels right here. It feels like home. We invite you to discover the beauty and adventure, the sense of belonging, the way it feels right. We invite you home to Redfish Lake Lodge in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho.

Stanley Lake is located in the northwest corner of the NRA, and is
a favorite spot for fishing and boating. The Stanley Lake Overlook offers a vantage point for viewing McGowan Peak, which seems to
rise right out of the lake. Access into the lake is via a rough gravel road through mountain meadows.

Here you can find information on a variety of activities including the Fishhook Creek Nature Trail – a short, self-guided tour. There is also horseback riding, swimming and climbing on some of the most challenging granite wall in the West. Photographers and painters love the mountain peaks, wildflower meadows and wildlife
around Redfish Lake. Limited hours.

Located at the northern most end of the Sawtooth National Forest, SNRA comprises one of the largest and most magnificent National Recreation Areas in the United States. Four mountain ranges, the Sawtooths, Boulders, White Clouds and Smokies provide scenic landscapes in every direction, with more than 50 major peaks over 10,000 feet, 300 lakes, and 250 miles of trails. There are more than 1,000 high mountain lakes here, as well as the headwaters of four of Idaho’s major rivers, the Salmon, South Fork of the Payette, the Boise, and the Big Wood.

The marina offers a variety of boat rentals: outboard motor boats, kayaks, water cycles, paddle boats and boards, canoes, shuttle serveices, and a Lady of the Lake Tour. Swimming and fishing are highly enjoyable also.

Three of Idaho’s scenic byways intersect at Stanley, the Ponderosa
Pine, Salmon River and Sawtooth Scenic Byways. In 1864, Captain John Stanley led a party of miners into the area and the town that bears his name started as a supply center for the men who dug for
gold. It’s interesting to note the cultural difference between Stanley and Ketchum. So close and yet worlds apart. You can learn all about the area at the Sawtooth Historical Museum.

Redfish Lake is named for the brilliant red sockeye salmon that
historically came to the lake in massive quantities to spawn. This is the most highly developed lake within the NRA, with Redfish Lake Lodge, marina, general store, Redfish Visitor Center, a backpacker’s trailhead, a boat launch facility and a dump station all nearby.
Nearby, Little Redfish Lake offers spectacular views of Mt. Heyburn and the Sawtooths. Motorboats aren’t allowed on this lake, so the area is much quieter.
