Alice Lake, Glacial lake in Blaine County, US.
Alice Lake is a glacial lake situated at an elevation of about 6,037 feet (1,840 m) in the mountains of Blaine County, ringed by steep rocky slopes. The clear waters offer views of the surrounding terrain that changes throughout the day as light moves across the peaks.
The lake formed during the last glacial period when moving ice carved out the basin and left behind a permanent freshwater body. This geology continues to shape how the landscape appears and functions today.
Local fishing communities gather at Alice Lake throughout spring and summer months to catch rainbow trout and participate in seasonal fishing events.
You can reach the lake via marked trails from several entry points scattered around the area. Parking is available near the main access points, making it straightforward to begin your visit.
The water in the lake's deeper zones remains at a steady temperature year-round, creating conditions where specific aquatic plants can thrive. This thermal stability allows organisms adapted to these precise conditions to survive in this isolated mountain setting.
