Gamlin Lake

Gamlin Lake is a fishing lake in northern Idaho, managed by the Bureau of Land Management and sitting about half a mile from the town of Glengary. The Gamlin Lake Trail system gives foot access to the lake, with three miles of gentle, easy trail through a forest overstory. The trail is closed to motorized use and equestrians, and it can also be used for cross-country skiing in winter, though it is not groomed. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Sandpoint show July and August highs around 82°F with only five or six wet days a month, while winter highs stay in the low to mid 30s. The lake's wetland habitat supports moose, osprey and warm water fish such as bass, perch and crappie. The Gray Loop Trail and Blue Loop Trail both start within half a mile, and Lost Lake is about 2 miles away. For an overnight stay, Green Bay campground is roughly 3 miles off.
