Where to Fish Sunrise Lake


Sunrise Lake is a beautiful lake located in the Wisconsin Creek Drainage in the Tobacco-Root Mountains. The lake is surrounded by gorgeous scenery including neat rock structures. Sunrise Lake is man-made as evident by the berm on the southwest shoreline. Human impact is evident with its mining history but traffic is low due to the difficulty of the trail.
