Hiking
Slide Lake is a beautiful crystal blue lake surrounded by cliffs in the Strawberry Mountains. Campsites are dotted along the shoreline and the lake is stocked with brook trout, so if you are an angler be sure to bring your fly fishing rock along with you.

Hiking
A wonderful spot for camping along the Strawberry Mountain loop. Fish swim in the clear waters, mountain goats dot the slopes above, and we noticed bear scat so plenty of wildlife to watch for!
