FRYING PAN CAMPGROUND
Frying Pan Campground Overview Frying Pan Campground is on the Fishlake Scenic Byway Highway 25 in central Utah, three miles north of Fish Lake at 9,000 feet elevation. Visitors enjoy boating, fishing and exploring local trails. Facilities The campground has one group site that can accommodate up to 100 people and up to 30 vehicles, with picnic tables, a campfire ring and large parking area. Several single-family sites are also available. Flush and vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Roads and parking spurs are paved. Natural Features The campground sits on a sagebrush-covered hillside above the valley floor and offers views of the north end of Fish Lake Basin. Aspen trees forest the site, providing limited shade. Recreation Fish Lake is Utah’s largest natural mountain lake and covers 2,500 acres. It is famous for its 20-40 pound Mackinaw lake trout. Anglers also enjoy fishing for rainbow trout and splake. Boating, canoeing, swimming and scuba diving are popular activities. The scenic Lakeshore National Recreation Trail extends around the eastern side of the lake. Hikers are rewarded with stunning lake views after climbing 900 feet elevation. Frying Pan Campground Map PDF
