Even as…read moreadults, it's still appealing, so there's no surprise to me that I found about 15 adults soaking in the natural hot spring, or puddle of mud, found at Inlet Park. As I understand, the hot springs are on private property, but the owner is ok with people visiting as long as they are respectful of the land and get out at 10pm. You park in the parking lot and then walk a few minutes through the trees until you get to the hot springs. There are some areas that are hotter than others and when you find the "hot spots" it's fun to sink your feet and legs into the pit. It's as close to quicksand than I've ever experienced.

Step-Out of Your Comfort Zone as a Family and Learn to Flyfish with Fishwest…read more Change is a challenge, but it's also an opportunity; not just for a person, but for a family. Flyfishing was that challenge for us, ages 10, 11, 15, 17, and... well, let's leave the rest to your imagination. None of us had flyfished before; a few hadn't even fished. Still, we all pictured ourselves gracefully whipping the line like Brad Pitt in A River Runs Through It. The Guided Fishing trip (two per guide), four hours on the Provo River, is the way to go. They provide everything, waders, boots, rods and in no time had my 11-year-old granddaughter and 10-year-old grandson casting like a pro. Okay, I am a proud Pop-Pop. Soon everyone wasn't thinking about technique anymore, just bragging rights: who'd catch the most, who'd catch the biggest. Everyone, (okay, 6 out of 8) landed a brown trout, and my 15-year-old granddaughter, my son, and my daughter-in-law are still arguing over whose was the biggest. You all be the judge, I'll just note that I caught the first fish. Our Fishwest guides -- Max, Tom, James, and Nate were outstanding: knowledgeable, patient, and great teachers. It is worth every penny. We started as beginners, and by the end, they introduced us to the joy of fly fishing. They gave my family a memory we'll be talking about for years. Just one more cast.

We rented a cabana for $50 which is a little pricey but with a group it's not too bad. You do only get one reserved parking spot with that so any extra cars in your group will have to pay the park entrance fee ($20) and then will also have to find parking. There's plenty of parking but our friends had to park a little ways down since all the nearby parking was already taken. Our friends also forgot their life jackets so they had to go to the marina to rent some and it was $20 each. So make sure to bring yours! Definitely would like to come back!

What the videos DIDN'T inform us of, was the $12 entrance fee, or the fact that this hike is a bit difficult for some! I am pregnant, so it was a great deal more challenging for me. On the way up to the lake, I witnessed a lot of very young children who were not happy to be walking. My 6 year old kept up very well, however! I was honestly pretty shocked he did better than I did! We made it up, and walked around the entire lake. We didn't see any axolotl's so we were pretty disappointed. On the way out to go home, we happened to hear a little girl yell "OH MY GOSH AN AXOLOTL!" So that was our cue to return to go see them! They were in a rather awkward spot right in the middle of the lake. I am SO happy we got to see them before we left! This was such a fun little early day trip with my little family! We ended up leaving and going straight to Ogden Canyon for a wedding reception that night, so it was overall a very long day. With it being so long and me being pregnant, I was REALLY worried that I was going to be sore, but I wasn't! I have already told others about it, and I made SURE to include the hiking aspect and price in my own online video so others are more informed prior to making the trip!

We come to Rockport every year in August for a family reunion. We normally camp in the cabins (and…read morehonestly didn't care much for it) but this year we decided to camp at the Juniper campground and we loved it more then the cabins. Only down fall is due to the drought in Utah this year there was hardly any water (only 40% full ) and it was super muddy but it's not the camp grounds fault. Stupid drought. We will definitely be back next year to camp in the campground again. They had the camp spots nice and clean for us when we got there. They even let us check in a little early. We also enjoyed fishing off the bank. Got a few bites but wasn't able to catch anything this time. In the past fishing right before the sun sets is the best time. We seem to usually catch fish around that time by the sale boat area. (Just east of the cabins). We used warms and pink salmon eggs. Can't wait for next years trip!

If you don't have a boat, you may not have as much fun here as others…read more I don't have a boat. The lake is awesome, though. Very clean and the water felt great. There are several beachy areas with covered picnic gazebos. Lots of shade trees down closer to the water, too. Camping is hit or miss. Some sites (the ones closest to the lake) offer no shade and blistering heat. The cottonwood area has lots of trees for shade and if you are lucky, there's a camping lot with a huge field attached for games like volleyball, throwing a football, etc. I can't divulge which one, because it would hurt my chances of being able to book it again, but if you care that much it should be pretty easy to figure out :) Full disclosure- I saw snakes here. One RAN (if snakes could run, that's what this one did) in front of me as I was walking across a grassy spot. I'm a little terrified of snakes so this was no bueno. Also there are tonnnns of Mosquitos so under no circumstances, do NOT forget insect repellent. Raccoons will get into stuff at night. You can hear them. Saw lots of cute little bunny rabbits and some deer. All in all, it's meh for camping, but the lake is awesome.

Current Creek campground is a large place with 4 loops. My favorite is D loop because it's closest to the lake. Bathrooms have flush toilets but no showers. Each camp site has a picnic table, grill, fire pit and concrete pad. The camp host station sells ice, firewood and some bare essentials. The star of the show is the lake. Usually you'll find me sitting on the shore waiting for a fish to bite. I've caught rainbows and tiger trout. But even if you don't catch anything the views are spectacular. If you should get lucky and decide to keep your catch there is a fish cleaning station by the boat ramp. Directions, there are 3 ways to get there all involve a bit of graded dirt road. You can take hwy 40 to the Current Creek Road and drive up next to the river, then around the lake. Next option is to turn off hwy 40 at the chicken creek area and take FS road #82. The turn is just before the UDOT facility. Lastly you can take center street from Heber past the Timber Lakes community. There is no cell phone service at the lake or campground. :)
