At East Slide Lake you don’t see much precipitation; September is the wettest month with most rain while March is the month with the least amount of precipitation. Go for a hike on the Bear River Smiths Fork Trail, and the fine people of Evanston like to hang out close by. Whohoo, so much fun stuff in one place! The Uinta Mountains is peerless! A scenic lake like Lambert Lake close to East Slide Lake is a great location to go to. This lake is so wonderful.

| | Miners Gulch Campground is a great campground nearby, and get your heart pumping on the fine whitewater of Lake Fork. This is no location for people who don’t like to have fun. Getting to East Basin Creek from East Slide Lake is easy, and going for a hike on the Fish Creek National Recreation Trail is always a tremendous adventure. Good hiking is available along the High Line Trail, and East Slide Lake is a fine location to visit for more than one day, Yellow Pine | |

Campground is a fine location to camp nearby. During the warmest time of the year highs here at East Slide Lake get into the 80's while nighttime lows are ordinarily in the 40's. For the period of the winter this place gets highs
in the 30's while East Slide Lake night low temperatures during the wintertime are in the 0's. Now, you may think that's heaps but there's even more fun things to do here in the Uinta Mountains. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody
but if it's for you then we recommend Rock Creek, and do stop by Atwine Lake, it's a scenic lake. East Slide Lake is a beautiful lake in the Uinta Mountains.

Toquer Lake
 | 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!!!!!!... |
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.... |
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.... |
Continent Lake
 | 10 miles away I went there about 15 yrs ago fishing was pretty good.... |
Rock Creek
 | 10 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.... |
Thompson Lake
 | 13 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.... |
LaMarla Lake
 | 16 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.... |
Scow Lake
 | 18 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?... |
Grandaddy Lake
 | 18 miles away The trail head leading to grandaddy lake that is around two to four miles. Info on weather conditions at grandaddy lake and info on how bad the mosquitos are right now...no fish... |
Highline Trail
 | 19 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... |
