User input for LaMarla Lake, Uinta Mountains, Duchesne County, Utah:
Wanda Hamblin York: 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.

magnificent whitewater of Duchesne River, and LaMarla Lake is a great location to visit for more than one day, Splash Dam Campground is a great location to camp nearby. Around LaMarla Lake you don’t get a lot of precipitation;
through February this area sees the most snow, and June on the other hand is the driest. This lake is so wonderful. There's whitewater on Rock Creek for all you thrill seekers, and there's great hiking along the East Fork Pinto Lake
Trail. Now, you may believe that's plenty but there's even more cool things to do here in the Uinta Mountains. The vista of picturesque East Grandaddy Mountain near LaMarla Lake is magnificent, and Brinton Meadow is a magnificent spot to stretch your legs a bit.

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... |
Rock Creek
 | (...) 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.... |
