Tips from the community
If you're like me, the forest feels like home. Fishlake National Forest is home to some of the most beautiful aspen groves and mountain meadows in the state. It's known as the family friendly forest of Utah! This destination is two hours away from Salt Lake City and it's the perfect escape into the trees. Fall is the best time to explore this National Forest. ✈ Follow highway 24 south of Sigurd for the most scenic leaf peeping adventure – the roads will be lined with gold leaves and stunning mountaintops!
