    If you are traveling by, why not stop by Rock Lake. Take a hike on the Slope Trail; one of the overriding traits of the surroundings of Rock Lake is Farm Creek Peak. This lake is so wonderful. Whitewater paddling is glorious on Duchesne River, and if you get bored of Rock Lake you could also check out nearby Bear Lake. Yep, outdoors enjoyable stuff truly is plentiful here in the Uinta Mountains. Have a magnificent hiking adventure along the Fish Creek National Recreation  
   Trail, and no need to travel far to check out attention-grabbing stuff like Hell Hole.
At Rock Lake during the months of summer highs are in the 80's. When the night sets in temperatures sink down into the 40's. Highs during the winter are usually in the 30's while the cold winter nights at Rock Lake are in the 0's. In case you don’t have a problem getting covered with water, you can always go whitewater paddling on Rock Creek, and Rock Lake is not the only
 
               place nearby, Summit Lake is a nearby lake. There's no way anybody can get bored here in the Uinta Mountains. Going for a hike along the East Fork Pinto Lake Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this vicinity, and Yellow Pine Campground is a fine local campground.
This lake is so wonderful. People from Evanston love to come to Rock Lake. You think that's sufficient? Just getting warmed up. You have to undeniably dedicate some time to Upper Basin since you're here at Rock Lake, and Rock Lake is a good place to visit for more than one day, Miners Gulch Campground is a good place to camp nearby. Rock Lake is a location that is quite dried out ordinarily; September is the month that gets the most rain, and March is the month with the least moisture.
The Uinta Mountains scenery is always beautiful.

MORE STUFF NEARBY:

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....

LaMarla Lake
11 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....

Highline Trail
16 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...
