Alturas Lake
The primary reason that so many families travel to the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in Idaho is the fantastic camping opportunities in the area. In the Alturas Lake Area, there are many developed campgrounds, which provide individual units with water, tables, cooking sports, toilets and a regular patrol by the Forest Service.
There is so much to see and so much to do in Idaho and one of the great destination locations in the state is Alturas Lake. Locals and tourists alike are drawn back to the pristine setting of this scenic lake, which sits with a backdrop of the Sawtooth Mountains above and behind it.
Alturas Lake is located in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area in central Idaho and can be the perfect place to enjoy either summer or winter activities.
Establish a base camp at one of the developed campgrounds at Alturas Lake and then in the summer, mountain bike, fish, enjoy a backcountry drive in some areas, or a hike into the White Clouds Wilderness area of Idaho where no motorized vehicles are allowed.
In the winter, the beautiful blanket of snow, changes the scenery and provides the base for great Nordic skiing and snowshoeing.
