DON’T MISS THE REDFISH CENTER & GALLERY!

The focus of the Redfish Center & Gallery is interpretive and educational programs. Our team of Naturalists offers a variety of educational programs every day. Come and learn about local flora, fauna, ecology, and geology. Join us for evening programs at the amphitheater. Daily nature hikes and boat tours are offered for all ages. Junior Ranger and Wilderness Explorer Programs will engage young people in the who, what, where, when, and why of the region. Visit our ‘Discovery Stations’ around the lake and environs. If you want to schedule large group educational programming, email us at redfishcenter@discoversawtooth.org.

Open seven days each week. Our knowledgeable naturalists will help you plan backcountry trips with current maps, guidebooks, and backcountry condition reports, and provide current information about camping, trail status, fishing, and backcountry conditions. Information on Middle Fork Salmon and Main Salmon River floating and conditions can be found along with a complete listing and contact information for all of the region’s outfitters and guides for rafting, fishing, horseback, mountain biking, or hiking adventures.
