About
Overview
Flat Canyon Campground is located high on the Wasatch Plateau, at an elevation of 8,800 feet. The site is conveniently located near Electric Lake, where visitors enjoy boating and fishing.
Recreation
A trail leads from the campground to small Boulger Reservoir, directly below the site. Electric Lake is approximately one mile away. Boating, fishing, hiking, biking and scenic driving are popular activities in the area.
Facilities
The campground contains one group site that can accommodate up to 50 people. Several single-family campsites are available within the campground as well. Picnic tables and fire rings are provided, as are vault toilets.
Natural Features
The campground is situated on a hillside above the highway. Hundreds of hazardous trees have been removed from the site, opening up the canopy and reducing shade to a minimum. Several large spruce trees remain, however, and grasses and summer wildflowers are abundant in the area.
