Lone Lake | North Idaho Hikes

Lone Lake lies close to the border between Idaho and Montana in the pristine northern portion of the Bitterroot Mountains. The trailhead is shared with the Stevens Lake Trailhead (to the left), so make sure to go to the right when starting the hike. The trail starts in the trees but opens up to the sweeping Willow Creek valley that offers spectacular views of Willow Peak. There is a cascading waterfall before you start the final ascent to the lake that feeds into Willow Creek

The lake is as blue and clean as any you'll find in the Bitterroots, and towering behind it is the majestic Stevens Peak. This area contains black bears, moose, deer, elk, fox, skunk, and a variety of other animals. There are logging operations in the area, so don't be surprised if you hear a lot of saws or see vehicles near the start of your hike.
