Navajo Lake Loop Trailhead

The main trailhead for the Navajo Lake Loop sits just east of Te-Ah Campground, reached by following Navajo Lake Road south off Highway 14 about 25 miles east of Cedar City. It's a straightforward staging point — parking, a pit toilet, and the start of an 11-mile loop around the lake — with a second trailhead available at the loop's west end if you'd rather split the hike into shorter out-and-back sections.
