Trail Closed Due To Snow

The popular Fish Lake Trail # 419, located 15 miles south of Hoodoo Pass, near the Idaho-Montana state line, has closed to motorized traffic. The restriction is necessary due to wet conditions and lingering snow. Motorized vehicles could cause damage to the trail and fragile high alpine meadows on the lake’s western edge.

According to Adam McClory, North Zone Recreation Staff Officer, the trail is still snow-covered in many places. The dispersed campsites located near the lake are also under snow. McClory says that Forest officials hope to reopen the trail sometime in mid-August.
