Amethyst Lake

Amethyst Lake is a fishing lake in the Bear drainage, set within the High Uintas Wilderness on the Evanston-Mountain View Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the lake sits inside designated wilderness. The lake is not reservable, so plan on arriving and fishing without a reservation. It makes a straightforward destination for anglers heading into the High Uintas. Several other spots lie within a short drive. The Jack and Jill Trail and Rock Creek Trail are both about 2 miles away. Climbers can head to the Uinta Mountains, roughly 3.6 miles off, and Packard Lake, a fishing lake, is about 6.3 miles away.
