Horsefly Hill is an easy hike of about a mile in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area, part of the Sawtooth National Forest in Idaho. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail is a short out-and-back that gains about 480 feet from a low point of 7,766 feet to a high of 8,244 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and allows bikes, so it works for hikers and riders alike. The climb is gentle, and the route is short enough to fit into a day of exploring the surrounding area. Spur Trail South lies about half a mile away, and the Senate Meadows Loop and Cherry Ridge Ski are each about 0.6 miles off. For a longer outing, Chemeketan Campground is roughly 6.5 miles away.
