"Described by HomeToGo as one of the dark-sky locations outside the city that "offer prime positions for watching the aurora borealis ripple over subarctic landscapes," this lake is highlighted as a straightforward, accessible viewing spot for strong aurora sightings away from light pollution." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

We love this place. We go every yr for fishing and camping/ cabin time. They have a dump station that’s awesome. 10 bucks to dump. I usually pay for someone else if they are there if I can. You can flush your black tanks and fill your drinking water tanks all right there. It’s so nice. We love to go here for the freshness of air, time away, fishing and amazing weather. Go and support fish lake. Whether you stay in the cabins, or go camping with your trailer, tent or back of the truck it’s amazing place to go. Check out the fish leak lodge that’s been there hundred years or so.

We have been going to fish lake for over 20 years. We love the fishing and staying in the rustic cabins. It is a great get away for the family.

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.
