     This lake is one of the great places here in the Sawtooth Range. McWillards Lake is great enough to spend more than a day at, Point Campground is a great local campground; you acquire a delightful sight of Cony Peak from here. But wait, there's more cool stuff to do in the Sawtooth Range. Have a good hiking adventure along the Black Warrior Creek Trail.
You're probably keen on lakes, Oreamnos Lake is one of those close by, and paddling on Salmon River is
 
   so much fun. McWillards Lake gets a typical amount of annual rainfall; January is the wettest month with most snow, and the driest of the months is July. This is no location for people who don’t like to enjoy themselves. McWillards Lake is right by the Bull Moose Trail, and if you need a place to stay Greyhawk by ResortQuest is a pleasant choice.
Having a great time in the Sawtooth Range is painless. Take a hike on the Yellow Belly Trail, and get wet paddling
 
               on Salmon River. Through the summer months highs here at McWillards Lake get into the 80's. Summer overnight lows plunge down to the 40's. Through the wintertime highs are regularly in the 30's, and after the sun is down all through the winter temperatures at McWillards Lake dip into the 10's. This lake is so wonderful. There's so much to do here at McWillards Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Iron Creek Campground is a magnificent site for that, and as expected, this is a good area for people who like lakes, Packrat Lake is a lake in the neighborhood.

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....
