Uintah Lake

Uintah Lake is one of many lakes in Uinta Mountains in Duchesne County, Utah, United States. The lake is at an elevation of 10,945 feet (3,336 m).[1]

The lake has a rough oval shape about 1200 feet long by 600 feet wide oriented east-west. The lake lies just east of a northwest-southeast trending ridgeline with an unnamed peak about 1000 feet to the south at an elevation of 11834 feet and another about 3000 feet to he northwest at an elevation of 12070 feet. Spread Eagle Peak on the Duchesne-Summit county line lies 1.5 miles to the northwest and has an elevation of 12540 feet.[2]

Although it has a slightly different spelling, the name of the lake has the same etymology as the mountain range in which it is located.
