Located in the Dixie National Forest of southwestern Utah, visitors of this beautiful state won't want to miss Panguitch Lake, along the Brian Head-Panguitch Lake Scenic Byway. Panguitch Lake is a natural body of water, augmented by a dam, resulting in a reservoir. Flanked by aspens, spruce, and ponderosa pines, the lake is estimated to be 1,000 years old. With a very high elevation of 8,200 feet, Panguitch Lake is a popular recreational area offering year-round activities.

Panguitch Lake is one of the ten best trout fishing lakes in the US. In fact, the earliest known use of Panguitch Lake was as a fishery by Paiute Indians. Very appropriately, the name Panguitch means "big fish" in the Paiute language. The lake is famous for its plentiful trout. Anglers will find rainbow, brook, cutthroat, and brown trout thriving in its cool waters. In the winter, ice fishing is very popular on the lake. Panguitch Lake has a marina, where visitors can rent everything from small fishing boats to a full pontoon. There is also the option to rent boat slips and bring one's own craft. There are two public boat ramps and a fish cleaning station.
