Cell service varies widely across the region, with stronger signals in town and weaker or non-existent coverage in canyon areas.
What to do
Fishing opportunities nearby: Doctor Creek Campground sits alongside Fish Lake, where campers can bring fishing boats or hike trails along the river. "Short walk to the trails along the river.
