About
Tony Grove Day Use Area sits adjacent to Tony Grove Lake at 8,100 feet in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, approximately 19 miles east of Logan, Utah. This high-elevation site serves as the primary access point for recreation at Tony Grove Lake and the surrounding Mount Naomi Wilderness. The area is renowned for exceptional wildflower displays from mid-July through mid-August, with meadows filled with geraniums, paintbrush, columbine, lupine, daisies, and mountain sunflowers.
The day-use area features a paved parking lot with 57 reservable parking spaces, six picnic sites split between the south and east shores of the lake, and a 1.3-mile self-guided nature trail circling the lake. Vault restrooms are provided seasonally, but no potable water is available. Several hiking trails depart from this location, including the popular 4.5-mile White Pine Lake Trail into the wilderness.
This is strictly a day-use facility. There is no overnight camping at this location. Campfires are prohibited in the day-use area. The nearby Tony Grove Campground, a separate facility located on the mountainside above the lake, provides overnight camping options for those wishing to stay in the area.
