Mountain biking
Red Shirt Lake is a popular hiking destination, but you can mountain bike here too. The rolling, non-technical trail is completely closed-in by trees until you get to the lake. You can rent a canoe at the lake to go paddling or fishing, but you must arrange the rental in advance. See tippecanoealaska.com for more information.

Hiking
There are no breathtaking glacier views along the trail to Red Shirt Lake, as it mainly runs through the forest. On arrival, however, you have a beautiful view of the lake. You can also rent canoes to sail on its waters. There is also a cabin on the shores of the lake.

Hiking
There's a pit toilet here (bring your own toilet paper just in case). Last time I was here, the floor of the toilet was quite rotten. Maybe it's been replaced by now, but just in case... tread carefully!
