Pelican Lake is a natural lake in the Uinta Basin southwest of Vernal. Historically, it is noted as a world class bluegill fishery. In 1983 it produced the state record, a two pound, three ounce bluegill. Old timers claim that it was one of the "little ones". Half of the shoreline is owned by the BLM and half is privately owned. Public access is unrestricted.
