Scofield

The one-time mining town of Scofield is located two hours southeast of Salt Lake City, in high-altitude Carbon County in the middle of Utah’s wild mountain and desert heartland, making it the perfect place to escape from the hustle and bustle of big city life. Situated in the aptly named Pleasant Valley, the Scofield reservoir is a popular location for fishing, including winter ice-fishing, and hiking. At an altitude of nearly 8,000 feet, the area offers views of mountains and forests around the lake’s shores. Further afield, the scenic Manti-La Sal National Forest offers opportunities for scenic drives, mountain-biking, hiking, and other natural pursuits. Whether you are a keen outdoors lover or simply looking for a relaxing escape to the peace, quiet, and starry night skies of the Utah mountains, Scofield makes for a perfect getaway.
