Snowbank Lake is a small alpine lake in Elmore County, Idaho, United States, located in the Sawtooth Mountains in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. No trails lead directly to this lake although Sawtooth National Forest trails 458, 494, and 459 are relatively close.[1]

Snowbank Lake is in the Sawtooth Wilderness, and a wilderness permit can be obtained at a registration box at trailheads or wilderness boundaries.
