Red Pine Lake is a fishing lake in Utah's Little Cottonwood drainage, managed by the Forest Service and about 2.4 miles from the town of Utley. It is not a reservable site, so plan on arriving and fishing without a reservation. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Silver Lake Brighton show July highs around 72°F with lows near 47°F, while winter highs stay around 30°F. Two trails start within half a mile: Fantasy Ridge Trail and Mill Creek Meadows Trail. Lake Desolation, another fishing lake, is about 0.7 miles away. For an overnight stay, Spruces Campground sits roughly 2.8 miles off.
