Where to Fish Harrington Lake


Harrington Lake is a small (7.8 acre) remote glacial cirque lake located in the Straight Creek (North Fork Fish Creek) drainage at 5,835 ft elevation. The lake lies on the Lolo National Forest (Ninemile Ranger District) in the proposed Great Burn Wilderness Area.

Size: 7.8 acres
Elevation: 5835 ft
Directions: Harrington Lake is very remote with no designated trail access. The easiest way to access the lake from Montana is via the Fish Creek trail system. To get to the trailhead, take Fish Creek Road (USFS Road #343) from Interstate Highway 90. Then go west on USFS Road #7750 until you get to the campground, Forest Service outpost (Clearwater Crossing) and trailhead at the end of the road. Take the North Fork Fish Creek Trail (USFS Trail #103) approximately 0.7 miles then Trail #99 (Straight Creek Trail) for ~ 6 miles up the Straight Creek drainage. At this point, where Trail #99 leaves Straight Creek for Chilcoot Pass, leave the trail and continue up the East Fork of Straight Creek for ~ 0.4 mile to the lake.
