This is a large beautiful lake in Central Utah, it is the largest natural mountain lake in the state. Elevation is 8,800' which means summer days are very pleasant. There are several campgrounds around the lake and two resorts. Fish Lake is also home to Pando, the world's largest tree. This is a giant aspen tree that covers 106 acres. The fishing was pretty good too!

Very nice mountain like. Seems to be an excellent fishing spot. There are many campgrounds. We will certainly return with our travel trailer to spend a couple of days at this amazing place.

Absolutely stellar experience. The lakeside resort is beautiful and the sunrises are spectacular! Rented a little fishing boat for the day and had an absolute blast tearing up the yellow perch. Caught over 140!!! Cooked up 60 or so for some delicious tacos and nachos and killed/cut the rest. There's nothing like holding two 5 gallon buckets full of perch on a beautiful summer day in the Utah mountains. Overall was beyond incredible!! Everyone had a blast.

I dont know why all the hype not only from reviewers, but friends I asked about it. The lake doesn’t really have a beach where you can chill, it’s dirty with dog poop and just murky and a million flies that make the experience not worthy. There is a nice trail around the lake but there are so many way better lakes that that. Campground is mediocre, just gravel and road did not do the job of connecting me to nature. It’s just okay, not worth a long drive if you plan on it.

Amazing scenery and fishing. Holiday weekends are extremely busy. Make a weekday trip with very little pressure and enjoy the local wildlife, such as deer, elk, moose, and many different fish species that can be caught. Easy catches of perch and rainbow trout near the shoreline at Twin Creek outlets. With a boat you can catch bigger rainbows, brown trout, Kokanee salmon, splake and the elusive lake trout. The 3 marinas have boat rentals and great information about how and where to fish on the lake. They also have cabins, campgrounds, and rooms for rent nearly all year long. There are Forest Service campgrounds that are on the west side of the lake located on the south side and in between the marinas.
