Stanley Lake, Glacial lake in Sawtooth National Recreation Area, Idaho, US.
Stanley Lake stretches one mile in length at an elevation of 6,513 feet, bordered by McGown Peak reaching 9,860 feet in the Sawtooth Mountains.
The lake formed through glacial processes during the last ice age, shaping the current landscape with characteristic moraines and rocky formations.
The waters and surrounding lands hold significance for Native American tribes who utilized the natural resources for sustenance and spiritual practices.
Three developed campgrounds near the shore provide overnight facilities with fire rings, picnic tables, and direct access to hiking trails.
Stanley Lake Creek flows through Lady Face Falls before entering the lake, creating a connected water system that feeds into the Salmon River.
