Around Bobs Lake you don’t get a lot of rainfall; the wettest month of the year is typically September, that's the one that rains the most, and January meanwhile is the driest month. Having a great time at Bobs Lake is painless. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always stop at close by Dead Horse Lake; if the weather is good, you can go for a hike along the High Line Trail. So many amusing things to do in the Uinta Mountains, not enough time.

year, Blacks Fork - West Fork offers some great whitewater. This location, the Uinta Mountains, has so much outdoors exciting stuff. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Blacks Fork - East
Fork. You'll need more than a day to explore everything Bobs Lake has to offer, you can camp at Little Lyman Lake Campground. Going for a hike along the Bear River Smiths Fork Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood.
Lakes are great; Lake Ejod is a lake that's near Bobs Lake. This lake is so wonderful. On a great day at Bobs Lake you can take a hike along the Bear River Smiths Fork Trail. There's so much to do here at Bobs Lake that you need to camp here for a while, Meeks Cabin Campground is a great place for that.

Scow Lake
 | 10 miles away Is the lake named after my great great uncle Pete Scow who logged in the unitah mtns in the late 1800 and early 1900's. He was a tie hack. Do you know the history of the name Scow lake?... |
Red Castle Lake
 | 10 miles away Nice lake, tough hike, and windy. Fished in late July, fishing was fair, but the size of the fish were between 14-19 inches. Wind was really blowing the day I fished here.... |
Thompson Lake
 | 11 miles away I disagree with below.
1. Thompson Lake isn't even close to the most remote lake in the Uinta Mountains. For example, lakes like East Slide Lake and Wild Goose Lake are far more remote.
2. The boulderhopping really isn't that bad. It's well worth the trip.
3. There are some nice campsites just east of the lake.
Thompson Lake is off trail, but it's one of the more popular off-trail lakes (but far less popular than trailed lakes!) and well worth the trip....This is the most remote lake in all of the Uinta mountains. It's a hellish 1-2hr boulder-hopping steep hike to get to the lake with NO trails or places to camp. Reserved for only extreme mountaineers.... |
Lower Red Castle Lake
 | 11 miles away Fished this lake in late July this year. Mainly caught 8-9 inch tiger trout, along with some small Brookies, and a few rainbows up to 12 inches. Alot of fish not much size.... |
Highline Trail
 | 14 miles away 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... |
Toquer Lake

This is probably my favorite place to go! My little piece of heaven! Maybe it will be yours to. Go hiking and enjoy some fishing and beautiful scenery!!!!!!... |
Rock Creek
 | 14 miles away (...) 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.... |
LaMarla Lake
 | 15 miles away 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.... |
