Sandy Beach is the primary boat access point for Redfish Lake, located in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area near Stanley, Idaho. This boat ramp provides launch access to Redfish Lake, a scenic alpine lake nestled at the headwaters of the Salmon River system. The area tends to be less crowded than nearby North Shore Beach, making it a good alternative if you're looking for a quieter paddling experience.
The ramp is situated near Orval Hansen Point Beach, a popular swimming area adjacent to Point Campground. The lake offers excellent opportunities for kayaking, canoeing, and fishing against a backdrop of majestic mountain peaks and rolling hills. Several campgrounds are located within 10 miles of the access point, including nearby options like Sockeye and Outlet Campgrounds, making this an ideal base for multi-day paddling trips in the area.
