Navajo Lake formed when lava flowed across the east end of this valley thousands of years ago. The dike was constructed in 1931 to provide adequate water for fisheries and recreation.
Navajo Lake Lodge rents cabins and boats.
Plus there’s three National Forest campgrounds spread out along the south shore of the lake.

I opted for the Navajo Lake campground. It was crowded and noisy in the lakeside camp area yet almost empty just up the hill.
Mule Deer
Wildlife ate wildflowers all around my campsite.
Chipmunks
Ground Squirrel
While some looked for scraps elsewhere. Yuk!
I walked down to the lake and split my photo time between sunset and this unknown shorebird.
This turned out to be a perfect place to camp before going to Cedar Breaks National Monument.

I like the looks of this area. Very scenic and I like the wildlife, especially the chipmunk. He's a cutie. The flowers in bloom just add to it. You got some great pics.
Very nice! I would really like to go camping there. Beautiful!
Deer and chipmunk against those yellow flowers – so pretty! Looks like a refreshing place to camp.
What a beautiful place to visit and that video was so relaxing…You are a lucky person to summer in such beauty Gaelyn…
Fabulous place Gaelyn!! That is the nice thing about having your own home on wheels, you can always find a spot where there are no people. 🙂
Another beautiful place that I never knew existed. These pictures are delightful!

glad u got to take off and enjoy different areas!
I can't tell by looking if this is the same lake. The wildflowers are spectacular!
