 
Fishing
Six Lakes provide some of the best private stillwater
fishing in all of Utah. With nearly perfect conditions
for fish growth and a commitment to fishery management
and conservation – Six Lakes is one of the best
fishing destinations anywhere. Because our lakes are
managed by catch-and-release fishing, every guest at
Six Lakes will enjoy catching plenty of hungry trout.
Guests can look forward to potentially catching the
fish of a lifetime while enjoying the beauty of the
high desert environment. For more information about
fishing at Six Lakes, please visit the Fishing section of this web site by clicking here.
Canoeing & Rowing
All of the lakes provide excellent opportunity for canoeing
and rowing. All guests are allowed to use our canoes
and rowboats to explore the lakes, find the perfect
fishing spot, or just soak in some sun and view the
wildlife. During the hot summer months, a water fight
on the lakes is always fun and can be quite refreshing.
Rowboats work very well for fishing, but those guests
that plan to spend a large amount of time searching
for trophy fish might want to rent one of our mobile
and fishing-friendly drift-boats.
Mountain Biking
Mountain Biking – all guests should spend some
time exploring the property on a mountain bike. The
many trails and dirt roads at Six Lakes provide ample
opportunity to explore by bike. We ask that all mountain
bikers be very careful not to destroy the natural landscape
and beauty of Six Lakes – staying on roads, trails,
and in designated areas is the best way to do this.
Mountain bikes may be rented at our nearby Hidden Springs Activities
Center.
Hiking, Exploring
Six Lakes is paradise for those who like to hike and
explore. Located right out of your cabin door are numerous
hiking and game trails. With lots of cliffs, small caves,
and juniper trees – hiking at Six Lakes is always
an adventure. During even the shortest hike, guests
are sure to see a variety of wildlife. We encourage
all hikers and explorers to remember they are in very
fragile ‘high desert’ terrain. The soil
structure is easily damaged and exposed to erosion and
some of the plants take many years to grow. Please stay
on roads, game trails, or designated hiking areas.
Bird & Animal Watching
Six Lakes is teeming with wildlife; the abundance of
nearby water draws wildlife from the surrounding areas.
Guest will enjoy looking for birds, deer, elk, rabbits, foxes, a variety of rodents, lizards, raccoons, skunks,
beaver, and an occasional coyote or bobcat. It is also common to see a variety of ducks, eagles, hawks, loons,
blue herons, and songbirds of all types. Lucky guests, especially in the winter,
will likely see a rare and majestic
bald eagle.
Swimming
During summer months all Six Lakes guests will want
to take a swim in one of the lakes or Big Sandwash Reservoir.
With water temperatures in the mid 70’s swimming
can be a pleasant refresher during the warm summer afternoon.
Also, both cabins have large hot tubs well suited to relaxing
after activity filled days.
Repelling & Rock Climbing
The cliffs on the
north side of Cliff Lake make a fun short sandstone climb. Those guests experienced in
climbing and rappelling may want to spend some time
playing around on the cliffs. We do not provide any
harnesses, ropes, or other hardware – so those planning
to repel or climb will need to bring their own gear and sign a liability waiver. We also recommend a short trip to our Hidden Springs Activity Center for the chance to climb on our 30 foot rock wall.
Games
With large living rooms in each cabin, a game room in
Loon Cabin, and plenty of space to roam outside, games
are always a favorite at Six Lakes. After dark, when
other activities are not a possibility, group games
can provide hours of fun. The cabins are also stocked
with an assortment of board games and children’s
games.
Barbeque
There is nothing like eating a well-cooked barbeque
meal while enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of
nature. The cabins each have gas grills and all the
necessary tools. If an open fire is more your style,
each camping and cabin site has a nice fire pit perfect
for roasting marshmallows and hot dogs or Dutch Oven
cooking.
Campfires
All cabin sites and camping sites have developed fire
pits with benches. All guests will want to enjoy
an evening around the fire telling stories and playing
games. Firewood at the cabin sites is provided and firewood
can be purchased at the camping site. While enjoying
an evening fire, keep an eye out for our resident nocturnal creatures like owls, racoons, and bats, and an open ear for howling coyotes.
Star Gazing
One benefit of being away from the lights of the city
is the ability to really see the innumerable stars how they were
meant to be observed. On a clear quiet night stargazing
can be one of the most enjoyable activities at Six Lakes.
Relaxing
An afternoon nap can make all the difference during
a busy vacation. We always encourage our guests to take
a break from playing and enjoy a quiet and relaxing
nap or just to soak up a few rays by the lake. For some
guests, being able to relax and read a book or magazine
is their favorite part of Six Lakes. Whether you like
to read indoors or outdoors, you’ll find plenty
of places to relax and enjoy. |
