About Lake Canyon Rec Area
Lake Canyon Recreation Area is located along Utah 's scenic Energy Loop on top of the Wasatch Plateau off Hwy 31 approximately 18 miles east of Fairview, Utah. Situated between Huntington and Cleveland Reservoirs at an approximate elevation of 9,000 feet, this area is a fishing and ATV paradise. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no water, electricity, sewer hookups, or garbage service. This is a " pack it in, pack it out" site, so all trash must be removed upon departure. This area has five reservable group sites, and four reservable double sites(#11, 17, 24 & 41). If sites are not reserved, they are available on a first come, first served basis. There are approximately 50 other sites in the area and are available on a first come, first served basis.
