User input for Chepeta Lake, Uinta Mountains, Duchesne County, Utah:
Matt Allred: Chepeta is a very hit or miss lake. Fishing can be absolutely dead one day and sweet the next. The water was crazy low two summers ago and there may not even be a lot of fish left unless they've planted it since. Worth the trip though -- if one lake is cold another will be hot.

to spend more than a day at, Spirit Lake Campground is a great local campground, and hiking is a popular thing to do around Chepeta Lake; Icy Hill Dugway is a splendid local trail. Chepeta Lake gets very little rainfall; the month
with most of the rain is May, and February is when it's the driest. This lake is so wonderful. A beautiful lake like Papoose Lake in close proximity to Chepeta Lake is a nice spot to explore, and magnificent hiking is available along the Shale Dugway.

Little Elk Lake
 | That's a pretty tough road to get there. I'd say about 4 miles in, but lots of big rocks. Great views though. We took ATV's up and it was a fairly unremarkable ride. We did see a couple of 4WD Trucks headed up too. Good scenery up top. I'd like to camp there and hang out. We didn't fish. It doesn't look really good for that.... |
Beaver Lake
 | 15 miles away Nice bows. Much less traveled than Whitney, next door. The real fishin' is 2 miles away though.... |
