Jimmy Smith Lake Trailhead

This popular year-round fishing hole features a trailhead leading to Jimmy Smith Lake adjacent to the spectacular White Clouds and Jim McClure-Jerry Peak wilderness areas. The area offers wonderful rainbow trout fishing opportunities. This site has limited cell service. The trail is about 0.50 mile hike or OHV ride from the trailhead to Jimmy Smith Lake.

The trailhead has ample room for parking, and contains one vault toilet.
