Fishing in Dixie Forest - Navajo Lake
Located high atop the Markagunt Plateau along the Markagunt High Plateau
Scenic Byway, Highway 14, is the Navajo Lake recreation area. Navajo Lake is
the place to fish for all four types of trout: rainbow, german brown, brook and
cutthroat. The lake was named from a violent encounter between Cedar City
cattlemen and a Navajo Indian raiding party in the 1800s. Navajo Lake was
formed when lava blocked off the natural drainage.
Fishing in Dixie Forest - Duck Creek
Almost directly across the highway from Navajo Lake is Duck Creek and Duck
Pond. Duck Creek is a picturesque stream with great fishing.
Hunting in Dixie National Forest
Deer Hunting is allowed in the forest, during appointed seasons.
Winter Activities in Dixie National Forest
Cross country skiing and snowmobile trails are abundant in Dixie National
Forest.
Caving in Dixie National Forest
Mammoth Cave and Ice Cave offer a different adventure than most of the forest activities. Bring flashlights, sturdy shoes and gloves if going to explore. Don't expect
stalagmites, stalactites or crystallized rocks in these two caves, but they are fun to explore.
Satisfying the Naturalist in You
The large variety of flora and fauna found in the forest will satisfy
nature hunters. The many streams, lakes and forested areas are host to a multitude
of plant and animal life.
