A trail from the Yellow Belly Lake and Pettit Lake trailheads leads towards Toxaway Lake via Farley Lake. These trailheads can be accessed from State Highway 75 via Sawtooth National Forest road 208.

Toxaway Lake is in the Sawtooth Wilderness and wilderness permit can be obtained at trailheads. Campfires in this section of the Sawtooth Wilderness are prohibited due to heavy use and limited firewood.
