Overview

The Tony Grove Lake area is a high-elevation retreat nestled in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. Surrounded by wildflower-filled meadows and towering peaks, the lake is a favorite summer destination for hikers, campers, and paddlers. A short nature trail loops around the lake, while nearby trails lead to alpine destinations like Naomi Peak and White Pine Lake. The lake’s calm waters are ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding, and the area’s scenic beauty makes it a popular spot for photography and picnics.

Accessible via a winding mountain road, Tony Grove Lake offers a peaceful escape from the valley heat. Vault toilets and picnic tables are available, but visitors should bring their own water. The area is also known for its geology and wildlife, including moose, deer, and a variety of birds. Whether you're planning a day hike or a weekend camping trip, Tony Grove Lake provides a refreshing alpine experience just a short drive from Logan.
