Iron Mine Lake

Just over an hour away from Salt Lake City lies a playground. This playground offers over 2.1 million acres with any outdoor sporting activity you can imagine. The Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest is quite the wonderland. This particular region lies just outside of Kamas, Utah, and is open to all kinds of recreation from backpacking to fishing, to just about anything with a motor. Not far from the mouth of the canyon is the Soapstone Basin. This region runs right along the Lower Provo River and provides access to many streams, lakes, trails, and camping opportunities. Iron Mine Lake trail is one that provides it all. Be sure to bring a fishing pole if you plan on stopping at the lake, and your hiking boots if you enjoy a nice walk. Iron Mine Mountain is the second highest peak in this region of the Uintas!
