Mirror Lake Guard Station

About

Mirror Lake Guard Station offers a unique opportunity to stay in a historic Forest Service cabin while supporting the ongoing preservation of these buildings. Located approximately 32 miles from Kamas, Utah and 58 miles from Evanston, Wyoming, the cabin sits at the base of Bald Mountain (11,943 ft) among white fir trees along the scenic Mirror Lake corridor. The cabin accommodates up to 8 guests with one bedroom containing queen beds and a main floor bathroom with shower. The gathering area includes sofas and chairs, and the fully equipped kitchen provides pots, pans, and utensils (guests must bring linens, dishes, silverware, cups, and glasses). Propane heat and lighting are provided, along with running water and flush toilets. Mirror Lake offers excellent canoeing, kayaking, and rainbow trout fishing (non-motorized watercraft only). A gravel interpretive trail circles the lake with educational displays about local flora and fauna. Nearby trails lead to Bonnie Lake, Scudder Lake, Naturalist Basin, and the High Uintas Wilderness. Bald Mountain Trail is accessible nearby.
