Directions: | The easiest way to access Tadpole Lake is to take the Saltese Exit off of Interstate Highway 90 west of St. Regis, MT. Take USFS Road #305 until you reach the the Idaho border and USFS Road #391(~ 5.1 miles). From here, there are two options. The first is to proceed southeast on USFS Road #391 for 0.3 miles to USFS Trail #255. Hike Trail #255 northeast 0.5 mile, then hike off-trail to the lake. The second is to go southeast on USFS Road #391 for one mile, then hike a mile-long trail north to the lake. Be sure to not accidentally hike Trail #1268, which heads immediately northeast off of the ridge. |
