The Navajo Lake recreation area is located atop Cedar Mountain, approximately 25 miles east of Cedar City at an elevation of 9,066 ft. This pristine lake is was originally known to the Paiute Indians as “Pa-Cu-Ay”, meaning “Cloud Lake”. Early pioneer settlers gave it its present name after a confrontation took place near the lake between the settlers and some traveling members of the Navajo tribe.
Navajo Lake was formed when an ancient lava flow dammed the eastern side of the lake valley. Resting on a layer of limestone, the lake soon developed underground drainage through sink holes. Some of the water drains towards the Pacific Ocean via Cascade Falls and the Virgin River (the river that formed Zion Canyon). The balance runs east beneath the lava rocks coming out at the Duck Creek spring and sinking again to feed numerous springs that form the Sevier River (one of the few rivers in North American that flows north).
Boating, swimming and fishing are the most popular activities at Navajo Lake in the summer and snowmobiling, ice fishing and snowshoeing are fun in the winter.
