Slide Lake is a hard hike in the Greys River Ranger District of Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. It is an out-and-back route of about 6 miles, climbing from a low point of about 7,500 feet to a high of nearly 9,750 feet. The trailhead is called Slide Lake Trailhead, and it sits within the Forest Service land that manages this part of the district. The trail is open from about May 1 to October 31. Parking is at Slide Lake Trailhead. Bikes and horses are both allowed, and the surface is natural. The hike starts close to two campgrounds: Cottonwood Group Picnic Site is about 0.6 miles away and Cottonwood Lake Campground about 0.7 miles. Trail Fork #037 lies roughly 2.6 miles off, and the Salt River offers paddling about 5 miles from the trail.
