Baker Lake Trail is a short, easy hike in the Ketchum Ranger District of Idaho's Sawtooth National Forest, about 0.47 miles long with a one-way climb of 108 feet. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is natural-surfaced, so it works for hikers and riders alike. The route is an out-and-back that starts and ends at roughly the same point, with the low point at 8,697 feet and the high at 8,803 feet. It's a quick outing, and the trail is rated easy. Two other hikes sit about 0.8 miles away: Baker Ck - Norton Cr and Osberg Ridgeline Trail #147. Norton Lake Trail and Apollo Creek are each about 2.7 miles off.
