Bridger Lake is a fishing lake in the Smiths Fork drainage, within the Evanston-Mountain View Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. The Forest Service manages the land. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Moon Lake show July and August highs around 77°F with lows in the upper 40s, and the lake sits a few hundred feet higher than that station, so temperatures here run slightly cooler. The Bridger Lake Shore Trail starts just 0.1 mile away, and the Sargent Lake B Bike and Sargent Lake A Bike trails are within half a mile. Marsh Lake, about 0.6 mile off, offers more fishing, and Marsh Lake Campground is roughly 0.9 mile away.
