2023 Map of Barker Reservoir

About this map

Barker Reservoir and a series of smaller impoundments sit high within the Escalante Mountains, serving as a critical water-management system in this part of the Dixie National Forest. This high-elevation landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, where several alpine lakes like Blue Lake and Yellow Lake feed into creeks that descend toward the desert floor. The intricate network of specialized paths, including the Great Western Atv Trl and Pacer Lake Atv Trl, reveals how recreation and resource management shape the modern character of the plateau.
