Cliff Lake Dispersed Camping

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Hike-in access keeps Cliff Lake Dispersed Camping free of car campers entirely. Set within Wasatch National Forest, this dispersed site sits alongside a High Uintas lake known for fishing, with a cliffside on the northwest shore that campers can climb for open sightlines over the lake and basin below. Day hikers pass through regularly during peak season, but overnight crowds stay thin. Camp in the trees to the east or up on the cliffside for more separation. Nearby Trial Lake and Petite Lake, just above Cliff Lake, add fishing variety to a multi-night stay. Arrive early in summer weekends to claim a spot before day-use traffic picks up.

Breathtaking, and not because of the Hike!

Cliff lake is one of those lake that can be overlooked due to the dozens of lakes in the High Uintas. However, if you’re willing to hike in with your camping (tent or hammock) cliff lake offers not only good fishing, but beautiful views. You can hike the cliff on the north west side of the lake and stand on top of it overlooking the lakes and basin below. There is also a beautiful little lake just above cliff lake, called Petite Lake, with plenty of natural (not planted) trout.

Hiker traffic may be high during peak months, but not many people stay for more than a quick fishing stop, so set up camp in the trees to the east, or up above on the cliffside and enjoy your stay.
