Public land it sits in

On Wilderness Atlas →

Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest begins about 13.5 miles away, and it is the closest of these.

Each unit is published as a centre point and an acreage rather than a boundary, so this section stands it in for a circle of the same area. Whether a campground is inside, and how far it is from one it is outside, are both approximate.

Natural features

There are aspen, fir and lodgepole pine trees, and summer wildflowers are plentiful. Deer and elk frequent the site, and there are scenic views of the reservoir and surrounding mountains.

Recreation

Rainbow, cutthroat and brown trout fishing is a popular activity on the reservoir, as is canoeing, kayaking and boating. Numerous horseback riding, hiking and biking trails crisscross the area, including a nice loop around the reservoir.

Nearby

Race Track Creek Trailhead is just outside the campground. Coal Mine Hollow is just around the lake. Both offer off-road vehicle trail opportunities, hiking and fishing.
