    Route Description for Alexander Lake Trail

    The Alexander Lake Trail is a short and sweet hike to a pristine alpine lake. This trail is rugged, not clearly marked and requires some creative route finding. If you are not experienced in route finding, we recommend downloading a map beforehand. To access the trail, you must drive along an unmaintained Forest Road; doing this drive with a 4WD, high-clearance vehicle is best. The trail may not be much to write home about, but Alexander Lake sure is. With crystal clear water, and lots of spots to camp and picnic, Alexander Lake is a gorgeous little destination in the Uinta wilderness.

    From the parking pull off, cross over Forest road 041 and make your way southeast to Alexander Lake.

    Once you reach the water’s edge, set up your tent or your picnic blanket and enjoy a day of fun in the sun on the shores of Alexander Lake.

    From Kamas, Utah, head east on highway 150 for 28.6 km then turn left onto Forest Road 041. Follow Forest Road 041 for 4.5 km to a pull off parking area on the left side of the road.
