Maple Springs - Joe Lott is a moderate, 3-mile out-and-back hike in Utah's Fishlake National Forest, within the Beaver Ranger District. The trail rises about 645 feet from a low point of 7,751 feet to a high point of 8,246 feet, and it is managed by the Forest Service. The route is a natural-surfaced trail that allows both horses and bikes. The most comfortable time to go is late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Beaver Canyon show June highs around 75°F and September highs near 71°F, with July the warmest at about 80°F. That station sits roughly 970 feet lower than the trail, so expect cooler temperatures on the ridge. The hike stays open from June 1 through October 31. Within a few miles are the Joe Lott and Sam Henrie hikes, the Silver King Walking Trail, and Castle Rock - Rec Site for camping.
