Not great for fishing but the lake is beautiful with a great trail. On my visit we saw a family of deer which was amazing.

This is a sun exposed hike. Its best to hike in the morning, or late afternoon. Parking can be challenging.

That was an awesome hike!! It's rough going on the way up but the view is incredible when you reach the lake! Clear water and fun to swim or fish in. Our group caught 15 fish while we were there!

Questions & Answers

Had the dirt road been opened back up? It was closed a month ago for regrading it.

Nope. I was just there Friday and the sign says it won’t open up until September.

Can you camp next to the flats? Also can u have fires?

Yes its a camping lake , and fires are allowed . There is a canyon fee of 6 dollars but worth it.

Is it safe to hike alone as a female? Is there any wild animals like bears, coyotes and snakes to worry about if I stick on trail?

Hi Ye! When I hiked this last weekend we passed a solo female hiker with her dog. Snakes & other wildlife will always be something to be on the lookout for no matter where you hike in these mountains. In my year or so hiking all over the Wasatch I have yet to run into a snake or bear!

I haven't hiked in a while. How long of a hike is it from the parking lot to the lake? I've heard round trip 5 miles and 5 in 5 out.

I believe the sign at the trail says 3.7 miles one way, but we didn't hike it so I'm not 100% sure!
