About Fishlake Scenic Byway (U-25)

Fishlake Scenic Byway (U-25) is a 29.4-mile drive through National Forest land in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The route holds two designations, as a National Forest Scenic Byway and as a Utah State Scenic Byway, and it passes the communities of Lakeside Resort and Fishlake Resort along the way. Summer and early fall are the mildest time to make the drive. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Koosharem run from highs around 80°F with lows near 41°F in June to about 75°F and 39°F in September, while winter highs sit near 39°F. The byway makes a good base for camping, hiking and climbing, with several stops right along the road. Bowery Creek Rec Site and Paiute Campground are each about a tenth of a mile from the route, and so is the Lakeshore Trail. Climbers can find Mytoge Mtn. Road about half a mile away.
