Lake Canyon Campground is located up Fairview Canyon. This was formerly called Miller Flat Campground and is in
Manti-LaSal National Forest. To get there, turn east at 400 North in Fairview, Utah. This turns
into UT-31 E/Canyon Rd. Follow UT-31 about 17 miles. Huntington
Reservoir will be on your right. About 1/2 mile past Huntington
Reservoir will be Miller Flat Road on your right. Turn here. There are
about 46 campsites in this area; 11, 17, 24 and 41 are reservation sites, as well as the group sites Miller Flat, Lake Canyon, and Rolfson Group sites A, B, and C. The other 42 individual sites are first come first served. Long trailers can be parked at
many of these sites. The cost is $5.00 per vehicle. This area is very ATV friendly.

| Lake Canyon Multiple-Use Trail System Map |
This map shows there are 9.5 miles of ATV trails rated as "easy," meaning the grades are not too steep and the tread surface is relatively smooth. There are 3 learners' loops. When we were there, we tried out the Lake Canyon Learners' Loop and the Rolfson Learner's loop. However, the Rolfson Loop had deep water, probably up to a foot or more deep, in the ruts of the loops. This was definitely not for learners. We got stuck in one of the loops and had to pull the ATV out backwards. Even though it was one-way through the loops, we were forced to go back out the way we'd gone in. Use CAUTION in the loops.
Another dangerous part of the trail was on Trail No. 12 just southeast of Huntington Reservoir. There were deep ruts filled with water here too.
