Decision Memo Completed

Moon Lake Water System Well

Ashley National Forest Duchesne, Utah Ashley National Forest All Units

We are proposing a well at the Moon Lake recreation complex to replace two groundwater spring systems that were wiped out after debris flows and landslides in 2023. The well would supply water to the Moon Lake Lodge, Moon Lake CG, and range troughs.

Location

The Moon Lake recreation complex is in the Lake Fork drainage next to Moon Lake. The well would be constructed close to the Moon Lake parking area.
