What Makes Redfish Lake Lodge One of the Best Mountain Resorts in the USA?

The Location

There are a lot of things about our property that make it one of the best mountain resorts in the USA, but the incredible location sets us apart from the rest of the competition. Our stunning lakeside setting is one of a kind in Central Idaho. You can walk out of your room to sensational views of the Sawtooth Mountains reflecting off Redfish Lake. You’re also close to tons of trails and other outdoor activities, but you can read a little bit more about those below.

Activities at and Around Our Resort

The extensive collection of on-site activities adds to the allure of Redfish Lake Lodge. The lake provides plenty of fun and exciting opportunities to enjoy our property. You can swim, fish, and rent a boat, kayak, or SUP from our marina. We offer a variety of bike rentals that you can either ride around the nearby trails or take to one of the paths in surrounding areas, and Redfish Lake Corrals provides horseback riding excursions for the entire family. There is also a network of trails branching out from the grounds that wind up through the mountains and along the lake’s shoreline. You can explore some of our favorite hiking trails on our blog!

Of course, when you venture off our property, you’ll discover even more adventures! White water rafting down the Salmon River, rock climbing at Elephant’s Perch and Warbonnet Peak, and soaking in a local hot spring are just a few of our favorite ways to explore the Sawtooths. You also won’t want to miss out on an evening of stargazing. The Dark Sky Reserve in Idaho is the first-ever Gold Tier reserve (one of only 11 in the world) and provides some of the most beautiful panoramas of the night sky you’ll ever see.

Don’t forget to check our specials, which include spa treatments, boat cruises, ATV rentals, and more! Trust us; you’ll never run out of things to do while visiting one of the best resorts in the USA.
