Fine FishingFishing is one of the top mancation activities in Brian Head. Sitting on the shore, beverage in hand, watching your bobber dip in the water - fishing has been a male bonding ritual since the beginning of time. Brian Head's close proximity to Panguitch Lake provides a great opportunity for some of the region's best fishing year '˜round. During the summer months, the lake boasts the area's biggest and tastiest trout; during the winter, ice fishing is a great new way to bond with your bros over a cold one. Fly, boat, ice, and shore fishing are all popular ways to snag the day's catch on Panguitch Lake. If your buddies are the fishing kind, snag a cabin right on Panguitch Lake. The Panguitch Lakehome is a 3,000-square-foot cabin that comfortably houses up to 13 guests with four bedrooms and three baths. Plan your day's catch as you gaze over the lake from your deck or challenge the guys to a game of pool or ping pong. It's the perfect spot for a water-based Utah mancation. Hunting OpportunitiesHunting has been a staple of the traditional mancation since the first caveman took his rockmate to kill a buffalo with a club. Luckily, the process has gotten much easier since then. But in Southern Utah, bigger is better. You and your boys can test your he-man status by doing some big game hunting during the spring and summer months, where you'll track game such as elk, moose, cougars, and even bears across the Utah wilderness. Talk about bringing home the bacon! Due to its wilderness setting, Brian Head is the perfect home base from which to track the local wildlife. Just be sure you obtain the necessary permits and take a guide if you're unfamiliar with the area. Wilderness AccommodationsLet's face it - an outdoor mancation isn't the place for a glitzy hotel. For the ultimate mancation, you need lodgings where you can laugh loudly at bad jokes, scope out the nearby terrain from your window, and sleep comfortably after a long day (or night). Many men turn to camping - but why should you compromise your comfort? In Brian Head, you don't have to. Our private cabin rentals offer the best of both worlds! We have cabins right outside of the city that do it all - offer privacy, feel isolated, are a stone's throw away from all the best attractions, and offer great amenities. Most of our cabins are spacious, include scenic mountain views, and sit far enough away from neighbors to offer all the privacy that you need.
