Panguitch Lake is a large mountain lake in Dixie National Forest—about 1,248 acres at over 8,200 feet. The name comes from a Paiute word meaning "big fish," and the lake lives up to it: rainbow, brook, cutthroat, and brown trout, with fish in the 6–8 pound range common. It's very popular with locals and anglers, and also offers ice fishing and snowmobiling in winter.
