Panguitch Lake is located in the heart of the Dixie National Forest in southwestern Utah. This natural lake is surrounded by a dense forest of spruce, aspen, and ponderosa pines. The lake is located at the elevation of 8,200 feet and is believed to be over 1,000 years old. Panguitch Lake is best known as a fishing destination. Its cold water is full of trout – rainbow, brook, cutthroat, and brown. In the winter, the lake is a popular destination for ice fishing. There is a marina where visitors can rent boats or boat slips for their own craft. There are also two public boat ramps and a free fish cleaning station. The area around the lake is excellent for mountain biking, hiking, horseback riding, and wildlife watching. Map
