Fishing Forum

Is dispersed camping allowed on Strawberry? I know that it is not within 100' of the shore, 1/4 mile from a designated campground, ect, ect.
What I am wondering is, if you can hike along the narrows trail and camp between Aspen Grove and Strawberry to fish.

Now I know this is not the Wasatch Cache Forest Service website and there may be no one on here who works for them to answer me, but I am asking the members of this website who may know.


Feel free to PM me with what you know.


If you don't know the answer I am looking for and want to just bash me for not asking the people in charge of the WCNF, please don't answer.

I don't know if you CAN, but I have seen many people that DO. There are sites along the narrows that have been used so much that they are almost permanent camping sites. Some travel there by boat and some must hike in as I see shore anglers that stay for extended periods and I never see a boat. There is a trail along the shore line. If it were me and I wanted to fish in the narrows and was mobile enough to hike in and camp, I certainly would.

Like Pesvela stated, I have seen people camping near the shore through the narrows. Beware that the land on the south side of the narrows is Tribal land and does not belong to the Forest Service (from the mouth on the east to the mouth on the west). I have no idea if the tribe patrols it or not?

Thanks for the replies.

I am aware of the tribal land, it is actually on both sides of the narrows, North and South.
According to the forest service maps and Wasatch county GIS maps the tribal land ends away from the shoreline. Which makes sense, as that would make all regulations along the shore and management of the reservoir consistent.
