Just can't get enough of the Uinta Mountains. Near Lily Lake you find the Highline Trail which is a nice hiking trail. Lily Lake is a beautiful lake in the Uinta Mountains. If you came to camp Bear River Campground is a wonderful place to do that, and there is a glorious hiking trail nearby called the Bear River

This lake is so wonderful. A good nearby hotel is Americas Best Value Inn and Suites-Evanston, and possibly you're looking for nearby lakes? Sure, Baker Lake is just a very short distance away. And that's not all there is to do here in the Uinta Mountains. A quick tour to Hayden Fork right next door to Lily Lake is a great idea; Lily Lake is glorious enough to spend more than a day at, East Fork Campground is a glorious local campground. Lily Lake is generally a pretty arid place; the month with most of the rain is September, and the driest month is January.

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?...

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...

Continent Lake
11 miles away
I went there about 15 yrs ago fishing was pretty good....

Thompson Lake
11 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
14 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....

Lake Marion
14 miles away
Lake Marion is a very small lake or pond located North of Trial Lake and South West of Star Lake. My friend Victor Montoya and I visited Lake Marion and caught wild Brook Trout and Golden Trout fly fishing. I was surprised that this lake which is very very small had trout over 12 inches....
