The Navajo Lake Trailhead in southern Utah is a scenic entry point to some of the region’s most beautiful high-country trails, located within the Dixie National Forest near Duck Creek Village. Sitting at an elevation of over 9,000 feet, Navajo Lake is surrounded by alpine forests, meadows, and volcanic rock formations, making it a popular destination for hiking, camping, fishing, and non-motorized boating. The trailhead provides access to the Navajo Lake Loop Trail, an 11-mile moderate loop that circles the lake, offering stunning views, diverse wildlife, and shaded paths through pine and aspen groves. It's also a connecting point to the Virgin River Rim Trail, known for its dramatic overlooks and distant views of Zion National Park. Nearby campgrounds such as Spruces Campground and Navajo Lake Campground offer convenient places to stay, complete with picnic areas, restrooms, and access to boat launches. The trailhead is accessible by a gravel forest road (FR 053), which is usually passable by standard vehicles in dry conditions. Whether you're planning a day hike, lakeside picnic, mountain biking adventure, or multi-day camping trip, the Navajo Lake Trailhead is an ideal base for enjoying the beauty and tranquility of southern Utah’s backcountry.
