Redfish Trailhead
Known For
Trail-opening views of Redfish Lake that stop hikers mid-step
Redfish Trailhead opens onto some of the most great-for-photos scenery in central Idaho — the lake reflection at the trailhead alone justifies the drive. A cozy nook of a rest area at the start makes it easy to linger before you commit to the climb.
🕐Best time to visit: Early morning before the parking lot fills
Our Take
Redfish Trailhead is a neighborhood treasure hiding in plain sight — the kind of spot where the journey there is half the reward and the photo opportunities are built into every angle of the landscape. It's worth a visit if you're passing through, especially for anyone who appreciates a hidden gem that doesn't require much convincing.
