About the Fishlake Scenic Byway (U-25)
Want some peace and quiet away from the crowds? Fish Lake Scenic Byway can take you there. Aptly named, the lake boasts excellent fshing, particularly large Mackinaw trout, splake, rainbow trout, and kokanee salmon. Scuba divers also enjoy the lake’s waters as it is approximately 127 feet deep. In the winter, ice fshing, snowmobiling and cross country skiing are popular. Horseback riding is also popular. Fish Lake is Utah’s largest natural mountain lake and sits at 8,848 feet. Also try fshing Johnson Valley Reservoir, and the nearby towns of Koosharem, Fremont, Loa, Richfeld and Bicknell make excellent base camps to Fish Lake Scenic Byway.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
