    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.
