    The ultimate adventure guide

    The Grand Mogul reflected in Redfish Lake greets hikers who choose to take a shuttle across the lake.
    Looking down onto Redfish Lake.
    The short hikes around the inlet of Redfish Lake are perfect for outings with small children.
    During spring and early summer when the high country is still snowbound and creeks are still dangerous to cross, this bridge over the inlet of Redfish Lake Creek is a nice option.
    The trail that traverses along the south shore of Redifsh Lake passes through some beautiful old growth Douglas fir forests.
    Though the views are limited, there are occasional glimpses of Mount Heyburn across Redfish Lake.
    There are many wooden bridges that span the many springs along the shore of the lake.
    The trail climbs through several switchbacks to gain the Redfish Ridge Trail, but most hikes make a short there-and-back trip to enjoy the shaded old-growth forest along the south shore of the lake.
