   Lake, clearly striking. Go for a hike on the Shale Dugway, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always explore nearby Cliff Lake. Going for a hike on the Icy Hill Dugway is always a great adventure; sites like Dead Horse Park are great to have a look at. This lake is so wonderful. Best Western Inn is a nice location to get some rest, and why not camp at Paradise Campground since you're here at Watkins Lake.

Little Elk Lake
That's a pretty tough road to get there. I'd say about 4 miles in, but lots of big rocks. Great views though. We took ATV's up and it was a fairly unremarkable ride. We did see a couple of 4WD Trucks headed up too. Good scenery up top. I'd like to camp there and hang out. We didn't fish. It doesn't look really good for that....

Chepeta Lake
Chepeta is a very hit or miss lake.  Fishing can be absolutely dead one day and sweet the next.  The water was crazy low two summers ago and there may not even be a lot of fish left unless they've planted it since.  Worth the trip though -- if one lake is cold another will be hot....

Beaver Lake
18 miles away
Nice bows. Much less traveled than Whitney, next door. The real fishin' is 2 miles away though....

Craig Lake
18 miles away
Craig lake was named by my dad in honor of his deceased son when he was employed by the Utah fish and game in about 1960....The man who named Craig lake is Max North....
