Route Description for Clark Lake Loop
The Clark Lake Loop is a beautiful circuit around two lakes in the Manti-La Sal National Forest. This trail has some steep sections, so good footwear is necessary and hiking poles are recommended. There is good fishing to be had in Oowah lake at the beginning of this trail; a fishing license can be acquired through the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources here. This trail is used by hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders, so be sure to let folks pass you on your hike, and always keep your dog on a leash.
From the trailhead at Oowah Lake, take a left to follow the trail clockwise. 1.8 km down the trail, you will reach a fork at Clark Lake. Take a right to continue on the loop. 1.6 km past here, the trail will divide again, continue on to the right to hike the last 1.0 km back to the trailhead.
Cool off in Oowah Lake or go for a fish before heading home or on to the next adventure.
