Route Description for Round Lake via Burnt Fork
The hike to Round Lake via Burnt Fork is a challenging route in the eastern Uintas. This trail follows a rugged trail and requires route-finding skills. We strongly recommend bringing along a map and/or GPS unit to aid in navigation. This route can either be done as one long day hike or broken up over a couple of days by camping at Round Lake. If you are planning to hike this whole route in one day, be sure to start early in the day and bring along a headlamp in case you wind up finishing in the dark. With stunning views the whole way and great fishing and camping at Round Lake, this hike is a perfect place to seek and find adventure in the Utah wilderness.
Beginning on the south side of Hoop Lake Road, follow the Burnt Fork Trail south for 4.7 km, then branch off the Burnt Fork Trail to make your way southwest to Round Lake. Enjoy your time at Round Lake and take some time to explore the other lakes in the area before heading back the way you came.
