Summer Time

Summer Season May 21 - Oct 15

The Sawtooth basin offers miles of trails for world class hiking, horseback riding, offroad vehicles, and mountain biking. There are fishing opportunities in rivers, lakes and streams. Highway 75 is a popular for touring by car, motorcycle or bicycle. The Smiley Creek Airport is just 200 yards from the lodge.

Snowmobile Country

Winter Season is Dec 15 - April 15

(as snow conditions allow)

Our lodge is located near the headwaters of the Salmon River. Spend a few hours or a day touring the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Snowmobilers will enjoy the groomed trail which traverses the beautiful Stanley Basin, linking Smiley Creek Lodge to Stanley and Lowman. As a day trip, the 18 mile section to Redfish Lake comes with breathtaking views of the Sawtooth Mountains and a good chance to see wildlife. There are also many ungroomed trails in the adjacent Sawtooth National Recreation Area. There is plenty of terrain for snowshoe-ers, nordic skiers and back-country alpine skiing as well. Don't forget your camera!
