     This lake is located in the wonderful Salmon River Mountains. Crimson Lake is a location that is relatively dried up regularly; the wettest month of the year is mostly December, that's the one that snows the most while July is frequently the driest month. If you came for an overnight stay Elk Mountain RV Resort is a glorious site to camp, and dry warm beds await you at SnowRun by ResortQuest.
Cabin Creek Peak is clearly visible from Crimson Lake; camping is available
 
   at Mormon Bend Campground. You just can't picture the amount of outdoors entertaining things the area in close proximity to Crimson Lake has to offer. There are other places here than Crimson Lake, for example Hindman Lake. You clearly must love the Salmon River Mountains. Lakes are such calm places, why not take a look at Fish Lake in the vicinity of Crimson Lake, and whitewater paddling is tremendous on Loon Creek.
Summertime highs at Crimson Lake ordinarily
 
               tend to be in the 70's, and all through summer nights temperatures are in the 30's. The winter brings highs down to the 20's, and winter nights come with lows in the-10's to Crimson Lake. This lake is so wonderful. The Bull Moose Trail offers hiking at its best, and if you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Salmon River.

Moderate uphill hike..couple of miles from road; classic rock wall mountain behind lake; nice place to backpack into..day trip or camp overnite; some wild life; hiked in here in summer and early spring when 1 - 2' of snow on ground (and melt was rushing down mountain side beneath snow...flowers growing in ground beneath crystal clear runoff (beneath snow...quite a site).Didn't catch any fish during August trips. Last time I was in there was the 1970's....

Hell Roaring Lake

Hi, we (wife and I) walked into the lake the 3rd week of July 2008; we took the unmaintained road to about 200 yards from the trailhead. If you take this in lieu of the walk in, plan on a 40 minute drive to cover 5-miles; your vehicle (should be high-center 4-wd) will get scratched up from the branches adjacent to the road. The parking lot holds 6-vehicles...if you encounter another vehicle coming at you, there are very few areas where you can back into/get off the road to let the other pass; it is a 'long way' to back up on a challenging road. To get to the trail head from the parking lot, you will ford 2-branches of the river/stream (10 ? 20? across)...walk across deadfall with the aid of a walking stick...or walk thru the water...just below the knee. We walked in on a tuesday and encountered 15+ people coming/going on the path. Easy 2-mile walk, many mosquitoes...quicker coming back....
