September 13, 2019The trail to Clements Lake is fairly steep and steady most of the way to Brown Duck Lake trail junction then mostly flat the remainder of the way. Lots of views and lakes to fish along the way. Clements Lake was full of fish and easily caught. There is plenty of area to disperse camp around the lake. I would recommend this destination for those who are able to manage the trail and distance plus want the added benefit of the views and fishing.
July 14, 2018Made it out in mid June it was really nice, hike takes you along the Duchesne for a majority of the time so there’s almost always fresh water available
March 17, 2017Hiked this quite a few years ago as part of a loop over Tworoose and Clevland Passes. Beautiful basin and great views
