Pelican Lake is located on Highway 88 a few miles south of Vernal, Utah, so stocking up prior to arrival is easy to do. Checking the supplies definitely is important for a Pelican Lake venture, because this small lake is well known as a bluegill and bass fishing hot spot and once a line is cast in the water, an angler will likely not want to leave anytime soon! Pelican Lake is managed as a BLM Recreation Area and primitive lakeside camping is allowed in the designated area. Because the Green River is right next door, the seasonal birding can be also good at this roadside destination. The mainstream tourists tend to overlook the Pelican Lake Recreation Area simply because there are a few big parks nearby that overshadow all else and for this reason, this lesser known fishing hole is a genuine gem hidden in plain sight!

New!
Destination West YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@DestinationWestOrg *The Destination West website upgrading project is well underway. Unique YouTube slideshows are replacing the outdated Flickr photo galleries. The new videos feature modern graphics and alternative music instrumentals that enhance the viewing experience. Some articles are being condensed, while others are getting much needed edits. As everybody knows, the bulk of the original articles and photos were published on the fly during the Covid camping venture and there were limitations. Upgrading is the way to go and more articles will receive a makeover each week until this project is completed. After that, I will be able to gather new material. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
