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 and kokanee salmon. A boat ramp is on-site located at the north-end of the reservoir.
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 campground sits on the north end of the Arapeen OHV trail system and is adjacent to the Lake Canyon Trail System that houses twelve miles of OHV trails within reach of this campground.
The area is situated in a broad mountain valley, surrounded by the scenic peaks of the Wasatch Plateau. Stands of aspen and pine trees provide limited shade, and grasses, sagebrush and summer wildflowers fill the meadows.
