Since I live in Utah, I am biased as to my favorite place. I hate snow, so I head south to Lake Powell in search of heat! I love the redrock and vast spread of blue water the lake offers. I have visited Lake Powell several times; we used to have a boat, but had to sell last year ;(
We have always shore camped. A couple of times we loaded tents and all into the boat and found a great beach campsite, other times we stayed in the primitive campsites along the shores.
The fishing at the lake is awesome. Stripers, cats, and large mouth bass! The last trip, I even caught a large mouth from shore!
The water skiing is good in early morning or late evening. Sight seeing on the lake is superb. From natural sand dunes, to Indian petroglyphs, and natural arches, this lake has it all!
Bear Lake is another favorite, but since it is in northern Utah, it is much colder than Lake Powell. It does warm up in July and August though. This lake has the most beautiful blue hue! When you come into Bear Lake from Logan, UT the lake view is breathtaking! I once stayed at Bear Lake for a week with girlfriends as a teen (still cannot believe my parents let me go). We stayed in a pop up tent trailer at the state park and marina. We had a blast! We caught crayfish and even boiled and ate them.
