About Moon Lake

Moon Lake covers about 768 acres in Duchesne County, Utah and is classed as a natural lake. The water surface sits about 8,087 ft above sea level.

We have not matched Moon Lake to a public level gauge, so the water level on this page comes from NASA's SWOT satellite, which measures the lake surface from orbit on each pass. Wind, gusts and rain come from the National Weather Service forecast grid that covers the water.

Small lakes rarely build big waves, but trees and hills around the shore make the wind patchy. Expect sudden puffs and lulls rather than a steady breeze. At about 8,087 ft, summer afternoons often bring building wind and quick thunderstorms, and the water stays cold well into the season.

The go or no-go calls above are a starting point, not a guarantee. Read how we score conditions, and always check local rules and posted warnings before you launch.
