hotel is SnowRun by ResortQuest; whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Salmon River - Yankee Fork. This lake is so wonderful. If you came for an overnight stay Basin Creek Campground is
a great location to camp, and East Basin Lake is not the only location close by, Pinyon Lake is a close by lake. East Basin Lake is pretty dried out mostly; all through the month of December you get the most snow around here; July on the other hand is the driest.

Hell Roaring Lake
 | 18 miles away Hi, we (wife and I) walked into the lake the 3rd week of July 2008; we took the unmaintained road to about 200 yards from the trailhead. If you take this in lieu of the walk in, plan on a 40 minute drive to cover 5-miles; your vehicle (should be high-center 4-wd) will get scratched up from the branches adjacent to the road. The parking lot holds 6-vehicles...if you encounter another vehicle coming at you, there are very few areas where you can back into/get off the road to let the other pass; it is a 'long way' to back up on a challenging road. To get to the trail head from the parking lot, you will ford 2-branches of the river/stream (10 ? 20? across)...walk across deadfall with the aid of a walking stick...or walk thru the water...just below the knee. We walked in on a tuesday and encountered 15+ people coming/going on the path. Easy 2-mile walk, many mosquitoes...quicker coming back.... |
Imogene Lake
 | 19 miles away Imogene is a beautiful lake with a complex shoreline, worthy of hours of exploration, as are its family of 15 lakes and pools downstream from it.... |
