Fish Lake is a moderate out-and-back hike in the Evanston-Mountain View Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is 5.8 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 912 feet, and it rises from a low point of about 9,387 feet to a high of about 10,283 feet. The route is natural-surfaced and allows horses, so riders can take the trail as well as hikers. The climb is steady, and the trail is best suited to a day trip with time to reach the top and return.
