The History of Redfish Lake
While outdoor adventure and activities are king here at Redfish Lake, there is plenty of history around every corner at our beautiful lakeside oasis. Since the late 1800s, visitors flock to our area for leisure. In 1929, Robert Limbert created the Redfish Lake Lodge on 16 acres of U.S. Forest Service permitted land on the north shore of this five-mile-long glacial lake in the lap of the Sawtooth Mountains. The Lodge continues to cater to visitors as they come to enjoy the “jewel of the Sawtooth National Recreation Area.”
Redfish Lake Today
Other than a couple of additions, the Lodge remains much the same as it was back in 1929. In the main Lodge, you will find the front desk, Limbert’s, and rustic lounge all on the first level. The marina offers motorized and non-motorized rentals, lake tours, fuel, and a shuttle service to the popular trailheads at the far end of the lake. Redfish Lake Lodge is located 60 miles north of Sun Valley and 6 miles south of Stanley just off of Highway 75. The Lodge is in a unique setting with excellent access to hiking trails, lakes, and mountain peaks. Especially suited for hiking, climbing, and fishing, the area is also enjoyed by those who wish to run the rivers, photograph, or learn of the charming history.
