Warm Lake is a popular lake in Idaho, United States. It is located 26 miles east of Cascade in Valley County, at 5,298 feet above sea level.
The lake's abundance of wildlife makes it very popular for camping, fishing and hunting. Visitors typically have a chance of seeing moose, deer, bear, elk, eagles and osprey.
There are two lodges at the lake, North Shore Lodge and Warm Lake Lodge. The Warm Lake Lodge on the lake has been there since 1911. It is part of the Boise National Forest.
Famous quotes containing the words warm and/or lake:
“Fewer and fewer Americans possess objects that have a patina, old furniture, grandparents’ pots and pans—the used things, warm with generations of human touch, ... essential to a human landscape. Instead, we have our paper phantoms, transistorized landscapes. A featherweight portable museum.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Such were the first rude beginnings of a town. They spoke of the practicability of a winter road to the Moosehead Carry, which would not cost much, and would connect them with steam and staging and all the busy world. I almost doubted if the lake would be there,—the self-same lake,—preserve its form and identity, when the shores should be cleared and settled; as if these lakes and streams which explorers report never awaited the advent of the citizen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
