    In Utah there are many beautiful lakes, Allen Lake is one of them. I don't want to stop, cause I'm havin' a pleasant time here at Allen Lake. Allen Lake is a perfect place to visit for more than one day, South Fork Campground is a perfect place to camp nearby, and probably you're looking for close by lakes? Sure, Dale Lake is just a very short distance away. Summer brings highs in the 80's to Allen Lake. For the duration of the dark hours of summer temperatures  
   sink down into the 40's. The winter comes with highs in the 30's, and overnight lows at Allen Lake through the wintertime commonly descend into the 0's. This lake is one of the great places here in the Uinta Mountains.
It is very dehydrated here at Allen Lake typically; the month with most of the rain is September, and January is when it's the driest. That right there is loads of enjoyable things already but it goes on, the Uinta Mountains has it all. Duchesne
 
               River is a great whitewater spot next to Allen Lake, and since you're here why not go to Cyclone Pass. You could also take a look at Daynes Lake since you're here at Allen Lake; it's close by, and you have to unquestionably dedicate some time to Four Lakes Basin if you're here at Allen Lake.
You'll really wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the entertaining stuff in the Uinta Mountains. You'll need more than a day to discover everything Allen Lake has to offer, you can camp at Splash Dam Campground; hiking is a popular thing to do around Allen Lake; Highline Trail is a fine local trail. This lake is so wonderful. A short trip to Pigeon Milk Spring is always worthwhile, and you can go for a hike on the East Fork Pinto Lake Trail. You can run the rapids of Rock Creek right next door to Allen Lake, and pleasant hiking is available along the Skinner Cutoff Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. You're sure to bump into some fine folks from Evanston here.

LaMarla Lake
Lamarla Lake received it's name from my mother, Margaret Gurr Hamblin, her sister LaVon Gurr Hansen and LaVar Davies,(nephew of my dad Lyman Duane Hamblin Jr.) They were camping and fishing in the Uinta Mountains. While hiking they came upon the beautiful little lake. They decided to give it a name. They took LA from LaVar, MAR from Margaret, and LA from LaVon, forming the name LAMARLA. They posted the name by the lake. I grew up hearing this story. My mother Margaret passed away over twenty years ago. LaVon is still alive and lives with her husband, Omar in Springville, UT. LaVar is also living and resides in St. George UT. Both are in their eighties. As a child my favorite horse was named Lamarla....

Highline Trail
The U.S. Forrest Service last attention to this trail was in 1994/1995 and the trail markings in many places is all but non-existent.  Portions of the trail---particularly in the meadows areas have been overgrown and rock cairn markers, where they do exist, are often overgrown and difficult to find.  Do not attempt this trail without detailed terrain maps and GPS equipment and the ability to use both.   It would also be a good idea to carry a satellite phone (rentals are available) as there is no cell phone signal anywhere along the route from the Mirror Lake trailhead on the West all the way to the Chepeta lake trailhead  on the East...

Rock Creek
(...) The section is comprised of 3 class 3+/IV- drops with swift braided channels in between. It seldom flows since most water is diverted over to the Wasatch front from the Upper Stillwater Dam (it has to spill to be runnable.) Climatologically speaking, March is actually the month of our highest precipitation (which falls as snow, building the pack which then melts in May/June.) Most people find this section of river not nearly as rewarding as other runs in the state....
