Lower Siamese Lake is a hard hike in the Ninemile Ranger District of Idaho's Lolo National Forest, about 6.5 miles long and roughly 1,200 feet of climbing one way. The trail is on natural surface and is open to both horses and bikes, according to the Forest Service's trail records. The route is an out-and-back that starts at about 5,600 feet and climbs to about 6,800 feet. That makes it a serious day for anyone heading out on foot, and the trail's natural surface adds to the challenge. Fish Lake Trail lies about a mile away, and Fish Lake is about 4 miles off. Across the line in Montana, Indian Creek and Cedar Log Lake are both within about 4 miles.
