Sawtooth Lake is the largest of all lakes in the Sawtooth National Wilderness Area, Custer County, Idaho, USA. The lake sits at 8,430 feet (2,569m) above sea-level and is a 5 mile hike from the nearest trailhead, which is Iron Creek Campground. Iron Creek Campground is 5 miles (by road) from the town of Stanley, Idaho. The 5 mile hike is on a well maintained hiking trail and has an elevation change of 1,720 feet (524m).

This image was taken on September 29, 2011 from the northern shoreline of the lake.
