an unexpected surprise; especially the color of the water. I can never decide if one should drive and pull over at will or research so you know where you should pullover.
The lake was formed by a lava flow that cut off the natural surface drainage of Duck Creek, a headwater tributary of the Sevier River. The lake receives subterranean inflow from an area appreciably larger than that of the topographic basin in which it lies. Lava flowed across the eastern end of the valley in which it sets. Lava tubes run under the lake and drain water into both the Great Basin and Colorado River drainages, as the headwaters of the Virgin River. At Navajo Lake, you can camp, boat, or fish for rainbow and brook trout. A trail to the south of the lake along the Virgin River Rim provides hiking, horseback riding, and biking opportunities.
Navajo Lake is a small reservoir in northwestern Kane County, UT. It is shallow, reaching depths of only 25 feet.
