Summertime highs at Kermsuh Lake typically tend to be in the 80's. Summer night lows plunge down to the 40's. The winter comes with highs in the 30's; nighttime lows in the 0's for Kermsuh Lake. This lake is so wonderful. If you don't mind getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on Blacks Fork - West Fork, and why not take a refreshing hike along the Highline Trail. Why not camp at Highline Trail Head Campground while you're here

| | at Kermsuh Lake, and do take a hike on the Skinner Cutoff Trail. Around Kermsuh Lake you don’t get a lot of precipitation; September is when you get the most rain here; January meanwhile is the driest month. And if that's not sufficient there's plenty more exciting things to do in the Uinta Mountains. Rock Creek is a magnificent whitewater spot in close proximity to Kermsuh Lake, and if you've had enough of Kermsuh Lake, Ryder Lake is close by. Best Western | |

Dunmar Inn is a nice place to get some rest, needless to say you could also take a look at McPheters Lake while you're here; it's not far at all. But wait, there's more to do in close proximity to Kermsuh Lake. Butterfly Campground
is a great local campground, and Kermsuh Lake is right by the East Fork Pinto Lake Trail. This lake is so wonderful. At Kermsuh Lake you can observe A-1 Peak. Now, you may feel that's heaps but there's even more enjoyable stuff to
do here in the Uinta Mountains. A pleasant tour to Middle Basin is a glorious way to spend an afternoon; if you want to take a look at some interesting stuff, take a look at Hell Hole. The Uinta Mountains scenery is always beautiful.

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... |
Scow Lake
 | 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?... |
Thompson Lake
 | 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
 | 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.... |

Rock Creek
 | 15 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.... |
