Chriss Lake is a fishing lake in the Escalante Ranger District of Dixie National Forest in southern Utah, managed by the Forest Service. It sits among a cluster of lakes and trails in this part of the forest, with the Chriss Lake Trail starting just 0.4 miles away. Fishing is the main draw here, and the lake is not a reservable site, so plan on arriving and casting without a reservation. For more time on the water, Deer Creek Lake lies about 1.4 miles off, and Green Lake is about 1.5 miles away. Anglers can also pair a day at the lake with a hike on the Deer Creek Lake Trail, roughly a mile from the lake. For an overnight stay, Oak Creek Campground is about 5.4 miles away, and Upper Pleasant Creek Campground is about 6.3 miles away.
