At the top of many locals' lists is Tony Grove Lake. Located about 30 minutes from South Logan in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Tony Grove Campground offers breathtaking mountain scenery, cool summer temperatures, access to hiking trails, and a beautiful alpine lake perfect for fishing, kayaking, and wildlife viewing. The area is especially stunning during wildflower season in July and August.
