Lower Palisades Lake, Bonneville County, Idaho

    User input for Lower Palisades Lake, Bonneville County, Idaho:


The four mile hike up to Lower Palisades Lake provide some of the best mountain views in the Swan Valley region. Palisades Creek Trail is well maintained and can be used only by hikers, backpackers or horses as it is in the Palisades wilderness study area. Lower Palisades Lake was formed when a giant landslide came down the canyon and dammed the creek. Palisades Canyon is thickly forested with fir, aspen and willow. It is a canon of steep magnificent cliffs. The Lower Palisades Lake is much smaller than the Upper Palisades Lake and because of its proximity receives most of the traffic. Lower Palisades Lake provides good fishing also. http://www.greater-yellowstone.com/Swan-Valley/lower-palisades-lake.html - Daryl L. Hunter
