Location
Round Lake also known as W-48 is located in Summit County, Utah in the Uinta Mountains. From Kamas take Weber Canyon Road. Once you hit the exit to Smith and Morehouse Reservoir you have about 7 more miles to go. Do not turn into Smith and Morehouse, instead continue heading East on Weber Canyon Road. There is some public parking near the Holiday Park area. You can access the lake from the Dry Fork Trailhead also called the Fish Lake Loop, or you can forge your own path. This hike gains elevation very quickly and is recommended for experienced hikers only. Bring lots of bug spray, the mosquitoes are thick in the summer time. Sand Lake is about half mile southeast or Round Lake and Fish Lake is another half mile past Sand.
