Some of our favorite lakes for summer camping in Utah are those that are lesser known. These bodies of water are typically hidden away but offer so many remarkable gems. Tony Grove Lake in Cache County is one such place. Located up Logan Canyon, this smaller lake is one that will make you feel like you’re in a fairy tale. Mid-July to mid-August is one of our favorite times to visit this lake as this area becomes surrounded by beautiful summer wildflowers. In fact, this is one of the best places to view summer wildflowers in Utah.

Tony Grove Lake is located approximately 8,000 feet in elevation in Logan Canyon. After turning off the Logan Canyon Scenic Byway, you will drive on a 7-mile paved road to this stunning area.
