Overview

Moosehorn Campground is located just off the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway on the shores of Moosehorn Lake at an elevation of 10,400 feet. The byway cuts through the Uinta Mountains, which are known for their abundant recreational opportunities and scenic beauty.

Recreation

Moosehorn Lake offers canoeing, kayaking and fishing for rainbow trout in a beautiful setting. The lake is open only to non-motorized watercraft.


Many hiking, biking, horse and off-road vehicle trails crisscross this beautiful region, including the Fehr Lake Trail which begins just outside the campground. Bald Mountain Trail can be accessed nearby.



Nearby Mirror Lake Campground offers more great canoeing and fishing opportunities.

Facilities

The campground contains several single-family sites, all with picnic tables and campfire rings with grills. Some sites have nice lake views. Vault toilets and trash collection are provided. Firewood is available for purchase from the host. Roads and parking spurs are dirt. 

Natural Features

Moosehorn Lake is situated at the base of the 11,943-foot Bald Mountain, where a forest of white fir trees provide partial shade in this pretty campground. Colorful summer wildflowers dot the landscape. Summer temperatures range from 65-75 degrees during the day to 40-50 degrees at night.
