Pelican Lake Boat Ramp
The Pelican Lake Boat Ramp located in Uintah County is a concrete boat ramp that is 16 feet wide and can accommodate small to medium-sized watercraft. It services Pelican Lake, a 1,700-acre natural lake located in the Ashley National Forest. According to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Pelican Lake is home to a variety of fish species, including rainbow trout, tiger muskie, and yellow perch. Boats powered by electric motors, gas motors, and sailboats are permitted on the lake.
As for the Pelican Lake Boat Ramp located in Duchesne County, there is limited information available online about its specifics, including its width and the types of watercraft permitted on the lake. However, it is also situated on Pelican Lake and can be accessed from a dirt road off of Highway 191. It seems to be a popular spot for fishing and boating, with anglers reporting catches of rainbow trout, walleye, and bass.

Boating safety & etiquette
- Check the conditions before you launch
- Use the streamflow numbers, weather, and wind forecast on this page. High-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
- Wear your life jacket
- Statistically the single biggest survival factor in a boating incident. State law often requires one per passenger.
- File a float plan
- Tell someone on shore your put-in, take-out, and expected return time. Especially for multi-day or remote trips.
- Yield at the ramp
- Prep gear in the parking lot, not on the ramp. Launch and clear quickly so others can use the lane.
- Clean, drain, dry
- Inspect, clean, drain and dry your boat between waters to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species.

About Pelican Lake Boat Ramp
Can I launch a motorboat here?
Most Snoflo-tracked launches support motorboats; check the operator for any horsepower restrictions, paddle-only zones, or seasonal closures.
How fresh is the streamflow data?
USGS streamgauges report continuously (every 15 minutes); the table on this page pulls the latest reading at page load.
Is there a fee?
Many federal and state boat launches charge a day-use fee. Check the operator's site before driving out.
What boat is right for these conditions?
Use the nearby streamflow numbers and river-run panel on this page to gauge current conditions. Wider, slower water is friendly for casual paddling and powerboats; high-cfs whitewater requires whitewater-specific craft and skill.
Can I get alerts when conditions change?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this launch, set a threshold (discharge, wind), and you'll get a push the moment it crosses.
