Navajo Lake is a high-altitude mountain fishing destination located at approximately 9,200 feet elevation in the Dixie National Forest, 26 miles east of Cedar City in Kane County, Utah. This natural alpine lake was enhanced in the 1930s with a low dyke to maintain water levels for irrigation purposes. The lake sits on the Markagunt Plateau and was formed by a lava flow that blocked the natural drainage of Duck Creek. With its spectacular mountain backdrop and crystal-clear waters, Navajo Lake provides excellent fishing opportunities in a pristine wilderness setting. The lake features unique underwater sinkholes that create streams flowing down to Duck Creek and Cascade Falls, adding to its distinctive character as both a fishing destination and natural wonder.
