Overview
Mallard Bay Overflow Camping Area is next to Fish Lake and the Fishlake Scenic Byway in central Utah at an 9,000 feet elevation. The camping area is used as an overflow camping area when all other campgrounds in the Fish Lake Basin are full.

Recreation
Fish Lake is Utah's largest natural mountain lake, covering 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 five-mile Pelican Canyon Trail begins at nearby Bowery Creek Campground. It leads through meadows and dense forests of spruce, pine and aspen as it climbs to the 11,633-foot Fish Lake Hightop. The popular Lakeshore National Recreation Trail lines the eastern side of the lake. Hikers are rewarded with stunning lake views after climbing 900 feet elevation.
