Providing access to a hidden oasis in the high Uinta Mountains, China Meadows gives users a direct path to stunning lakes, grueling hikes, and multiple campgrounds tucked away in the trees. Spanning from the edge of Mountain View, Wyoming, China Meadows heads directly south for nearly 20 miles before crossing into Utah and dead-ending at a hiking trailhead for Kings Peak, Utah's highest point. Along this well-maintained trail, Stateline Reservoir, Bridger Lake, Marsh Lake, and China Lake provide the opportunity for incredible fishing and water sports. Views of the High Uinta Wilderness do not disappoint, with snow-capped peaks and barren slopes just a stone's throw away from this lush green forest.

Camping is abundant once you cross into the National Forest, where dispersed camping lines the trail. Campsites can be found at nearly any given point, ranging from small and personal to pull-through RV-sized sites. Improved camping is also abundant, with multiple options to choose from. Each lake has an associated campground, where there are plenty of sites to choose from, accompanied by tables, fire rings, and pit toilets.
