ユーインタ山脈の湖・トップ6

Chepeta Lake is accessible via a well-maintained road, making it a one of the only spots for arranging resupply drops or meeting support vehicles if hiking the rugged Uinta Highline Trail. It also could be a potential alternative eastern start/end point for those looking to shorten their thru-hike by a little under 40-miles. Regardless there are restrooms and camping spots nearby, making Chepeta Lake a notable spot along the trail.

This viewpoint, just a short walk outside Canyon Rim Campground, offers impressive lookouts down into Red Canyon, with the Flaming Gorge Reservior, created from the Green River, in its depths. If you're up for hiking a couple miles northwest, the views get even better.

Red Canyon is some 700 feet wide and 1,400 deep, and you get amazing views of it from this lookout point, as well as spots along the trail as you approach. The water at the bottom is Flaming Gorge Reservoir.

Lily Lake is an easily accessible alpine lake. Lily Lake Trail is about a 3.0-mile out-and-back hike starting just east of the Ranger Station by the cabin. The marked trail is easy to follow and crosses a couple of ATV roads. Dogs are welcome on a leash.

Hardcore hikers might not enjoy the fact that Mirror Lake is so close to the road, but it's still an absolutely beautiful destination that suits many mobility levels. The lakeside trail makes a wonderful outing from the nearby campground.

Kamas Lake is located in a rocky depression at the foot of Scout Peak, a majestic and wonderful place!

East Park Reservoir is a lush lake on the Uinta Highline Trail. You'll find a campground with restrooms on the west shore.

The Uinta Highline Trail starts here if you want to walk it from west to east and ends at US 191. There is parking, vault toilets, and a popular fishing lake across the highway. The long distance trail is 100 miles long and not for you if you have never been hiking or camping in the wilderness. It spans the Ashley National Forest and the Uinta Wilderness, largely following the ridgeline. The ideal season for the trail is from June to October at the most.
