Burnt Fork is a river fishing spot in the Evanston-Mountain View Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. It lies within the Burnt Fork drainage, and the nearest town is Evanston. Summer is the most comfortable time to fish here. Typical averages from the nearby Moon Lake weather station show July and August highs around 77°F with lows near 48°F, and the station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the fork, so temperatures at the water run cooler. Fish Lake is about a mile away, and Kabell Meadows Trail and the Kabell Meadows mountain biking area are both about 2 miles off. Hoop Lake, another river fishing spot, is about 2 miles away.
