Howard Lake is one of the lakes here in the Wind River Range. This is no place for people who don’t like to enjoy themselves. A lake close by is Pipestone Lakes, and going for a hike along the Firehole Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood. This lake is so wonderful.
This lake is so wonderful. Get soaked paddling on Boulder Creek, and if you came for an overnight stay Scab Creek Campground is a good site to camp. Howard Lake gets

You could also go to Wilderness Lake if you're here at Howard Lake; it's nearby; the Europe Canyon Trail is a brilliant hiking trail nearby.
If the weather is good here at Howard Lake, you can go for a hike along the Lake Isabella Trail; paddling on Bull Lake Creek is so much fun. A quick trip | |

to Halls Creek next to Howard Lake is a nice idea; Boulder Campground is a tremendous campground nearby. Through the summertime at Howard Lake temperatures are typically in the 70's with night lows in the 40's. The wintertime brings
highs down to the 20's, and after the sun is down all through the wintertime temperatures at Howard Lake descend into the-10's.
Be careful coming to the Wind River Range, you might not ever wanna go back home again. If the weather
is wonderful, you get a wonderful vista of Halls Butte from Howard Lake, and Best Western Pinedale Inn is a pleasant location to get some rest.

Hay Pass Trail
 | I backpacked over Hay Pass (from Boulder Lake Trailhead to to Golden Lakes) last July 25. Easy ascent to pass except for stream crossings, trail gets faint for about 1/4 mi.above Dennis Lake (quite a view down to the lake. At the outlet of the unnamed lake (Beth Lake???) below the pass on the west side (at head of North Fk Boulder Cr.) water was high & swift, so I routed eastward around to the head of the lake crossing 2 inlet streams where they braid apart. through thick willows- a slow deal, but better than hip-deep swift water at the outlet. Great cutthroat fishing at Victor Lake (on fish to 19) during a hail storm. Guess the fish thought the hail was a swarm of bugs. Saw nobody else from Victor lk. to Golden Lks and back (3 days). Not the most spectacular scenery in the range (peaks are mostly round-topped, not like the jagged peaks to the north or south), but no people and great fishing (Golden Lakes had lots of 14 goldens but they were not biting- typical of goldens). Going in again this July, only farther this time, north of Golden Lakes. Anybody going that way?... |
Scab Lake Trail
| scab lake trail is not one for the weak, it is a hard climb with outstanding rewards of beauty & huge high powered brilliantly colored brook trout up to 6 lbs that we know of in scab lake! oh almost forgot the last time I went was July 5 it snowed at scab 18 plus inches, I hope that I remembered to tell that the 11 mile trail to the scab lake is a hard hard climb, I have only made it 3 times to the lake thanks Allen Eagle concrete worker & stock car racer Jackson Hole... |
Ice Lakes

I went up there 15 years ago and just got back from another week this last weekend....the fishing was much, much better in the past. I think the WY Game and Fish spends all their golden trout stocking funds on wolves now. The stocking ended the year the wolves were reintroduced.........Hmmm, isn't that interesting! Also....too many llamas and horses bringing the light-weights up the mountain to clutter the place this time....the trails looked like a lost group of Custard's cavalry must still be riding the trails. :( But the beauty of the area will always remain. Thank you, Lord, for your beautiful handiwork.... |

Suicide Lake

Had some excellent fishing for brook & cutthroat trout at Suicide Lake in August '05. The fishing was so hot I caught 2 at once.... |
Triangle Lake
| 19 miles away
This lake is almost impossible to get to. I have been within two miles of the lake and can't get to it because of the dangers that surround it. There are cliffs and the trail to the lake is a slippery waterfall.... |
