Box Lake - Payson Lakes

By Utah Outdoor Activities

Box Lake is one of the three Payson Lakes. Although all three lakes offer great fishing, Box Lake is one of my favorite lakes to fish, especially with the kids. The action is usually very fast and success very good. This lake is stocked regularly throughout the summer months. The baits that seem to work for us the best are salmon eggs, different colored power baits and sometimes worms.

Directions - To get to Payson Lakes take the Payson exit off of I-15. Head straight down main street until you reach 100 N. Turn left on 100 N. Stay on 100 N until you reach 600 E. You will see a sign that says Mount Nebo Scenic Loop. Turn right on 600 E. This will take you up the canyon. From the mouth of the canyon the day use area for the lakes is 11 miles. Box Lake is the middle lake.
