White Pine Lake

The longest-approach Wasatch cirque lake — about 5 miles one-way via an old mining road that switchbacks deep into White Pine Fork. Less scenic than Red Pine but quieter, and a definitive choice for anglers pursuing Bonneville Cutthroat in solitude. Part of the Utah Cutthroat Slam circuit.
