The beauty of Kidney Lake is reason enough to stop by. Through the long summer days at Kidney Lake temperatures are commonly in the 70's. For the period of the dark hours of summer temperatures drop down into the 30's. Highs all through the winter are regularly in the 20's, and winter nights come with lows in the-10's to Kidney Lake. This lake is so wonderful. Soar down the rapids of Loon Creek in a kayak, and hiking along the Garden Creek Trail is good fun. And

| | if that's not sufficient there's a heap more exciting stuff to do in the Salmon River Mountains. Kidney Lake is pretty dried up frequently; December is the wettest month with most snow; July meanwhile is the driest month. Lakes? Sure, Horseshoe Lake is in close proximity; going for a hike along the Big Baldy Ridge Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this region. Paddling on Rapid River is so much fun; Fish Lake is a perfect lake close by. | |
