Fish Lake is Utah's largest natural mountain lake, over 8,800 feet in Fishlake National Forest near Richfield—about 1.5 hours from Duck Creek Village. It's a full-day destination: deep water (over 100 feet in places), multiple marinas, and famous for large mackinaw (lake trout), plus rainbow trout, tiger muskie, splake, and kokanee salmon. Great for boating, fishing, and the 17-mile Lakeshore National Recreation Trail.

Conseils

Plan a full day. Check Utah's Mussel-Aware Boater Course requirements if you bring or rent a boat. Best as a dedicated lake day rather than a quick side trip from Duck Creek.

Quand y aller

Summer and early fall are prime. High elevation keeps it pleasant; winter brings snow and limited access.
