    The beauty of Craig Lake is reason enough to stop by. Craig Lake is pretty waterless commonly; the wettest month of the year is typically May, that's the one that rains the most, and the driest of the months is February. Go for a hike on the Fish Creek National Recreation Trail; you can stay the night at Henrys Fork Campground. This lake is so wonderful. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Uinta River, and going for a hike on the High Line Trail is always a  
   great adventure.
That right there is a load of amusing things already but it goes on, the Uinta Mountains has it all. Get dripping wet paddling on Yellowstone River; Craig Lake is a fine location to visit for more than one day, Wandin Campground is a fine location to camp nearby. Verlie Lake is a nearby lake that you could go to; nearby you stumble on the Shale Dugway which is a good hiking trail. Summertime at Craig Lake comes with high temperatures in
 
               the 80's. All through the moonlight hours it's generally in the 50's. The cold days of the wintertime come with highs in the 30's with temperatures at Craig Lake dipping down into the 0's throughout winter nights.

Nice bows. Much less traveled than Whitney, next door. The real fishin' is 2 miles away though....

Lower Red Castle Lake

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....

Red Castle Lake

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....

Chepeta Lake
16 miles away
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....

Toquer Lake
17 miles away
Great little lake, no signs of visitors, Fishing was ok. fresh worms seem to work best. This is one of those places you go to be alone. Very peaceful. 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!!!!!!...
