Duck Fork Reservoir is located in Southern Utah. It is a middle-sized artificial lake owned by the DWR. It is located in a meadow near the head of a glacial valley in Ferron Canyon, high on the east side of the Wasatch Plateau. It is used as habitat for Bonneville Cutthroat Trout, an endangered species that has been transplanted from the Deep Creek Mountains. The shoreline is owned by the Manti-La Sal National Forest with unrestricted public access. It can produce some excellent trout fishing at times.
Duck Fork Reservoir is accessible on a dirt road from Ferron Reservoir. Ferron Reservoir is on the road between Ferron and Mayfield. This road is improved gravel and crosses some of the most rugged terrain on the Wasatch Plateau. From Ferron Reservoir, turn north, below the dam, and follow this road for 5 miles as it goes northeast and then west to Duck Fork Reservoir.
