The recreation area is situated between Huntington and Cleveland reservoirs, at an approximate elevation of 9,000 feet. The area is a paradise for anglers and off-road vehicle enthusiasts.

Recreation

Huntington Reservoir has great tiger and cutthroat trout fishing, while Cleveland Reservoir offers great fishing for rainbow trout. Both reservoirs are perfect for canoeing and kayaking, however boat ramps are not available.

The extensive Lake Canyon OHV Trail System offers many miles of exciting trails and three beginner loops, making the area accessible to riders of all skill levels. Horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking are popular as well.

Electric Lake is nearby, offering boating, water skiing and fishing for tiger and cutthroat trout. A boat ramp is on-site there.

Besides someone else blasting music all night both nights down at another campsite, it was good. Plenty of space for multiple trailers and tents.

We will definitely be returning, exceptional group camp site, there was a ton of wood leftover from previous guests so that was nice. Clean and well kept as well, honestly the cleanest toilet vault experience I’ve had. The only con was hearing gun shots here and there early in the mornings but that’s because it spooks my dog. Lastly was a trail that is accessible to anyone who had a side by side or four wheeler they needed to drive through the site to access the trail. People were respectful so it wasn’t a huge bother. The fact that I could bring my dogs was a plus and the drive to the lake was short and accessible. Great location for summer activities as well.

Wish I could tell you how awful it was so I could keep it to myself. However, I will be back most definitely. Beautiful area.
