Fish Lake: The Lure of a Historic Lodge
By Kirk Huffaker, UHF Executive Director
Fish Lake Lodge is situated on Fish Lake, a natural lake six miles long and one mile wide, in the heavily forested Fishlake Mountains.

There are few places in Utah that
evoke as much response as when you
say Fish Lake Lodge. You can see the
memories on people’s faces of days on
the lake, nights under the stars, tall tales
in the cabins, and dinner or dancing in
the lodge. And what about those fish
stories relayed to friends and family?
Fish Lake and the historic lodge have
an incredible history starting during the
first half of the nineteenth century when
it was a well used rest stop on the Old
Spanish Trail. The area was frequently
traveled by Piute Indians as well as early
explorers and trappers who appreciated the bountiful fish, wildlife and the
summer climate. In 1863, Brigham
Young authorized a party to explore the
area and obtain the Indian’s good will
by trading items. A peace treaty was
signed in 1873 and was never broken.
Another treaty was signed in 1889 between the Fremont Irrigation Company
and the Piute Indians for water rights to
Fish Lake. Their agreement, signed on
animal hide, was for the irrigation rights
to the Fish Lake outlet forever, and in
return the Piute Indians received nine
fine horses, 500 pounds of flour, one
good beef steer, and one suit of clothes.
In 1899, President McKinley created
the Forest Reserve which included Fish
Lake. The declaration and assignment of
a ranger provided a balance of the needs
of ranching, logging, and recreation. In
addition, a game warden was appointed
to ensure that the fish in the lake were being protected according to the new game
laws. This new warden was Charles
Skougaard, and upon seeing Fish Lake’s
natural resources, said “Someday people
are going to travel a long way to rest and
fish up here.”
By 1911, Skougaard had taken his life
savings to begin an independent fishing camp. He started by erecting twelve
canvas-sided tents with board floors. He
later brought twelve boats from the valley by wagon and Fish Lake Resort was
born.
Skougaard’s first hotel on the site was
constructed in 1912, boasting eight rooms
and a dining room table with seating for
sixteen. Outside, there was an open air
dance pavilion and a small store that sold
fishing tackle. As popularity increased,
Skougaard improved the resort with hydroelectricity fed by the power plant at Twin
Creeks and introduced the Mackinaw
game fish, for which Fish Lake would later
become famous. Skougaard also began
the Fish Lake Car Service to bring guests
from Richfield, over the treacherous roads
to the resort. It wasn’t until 1920 that the
undependable roads were improved when
Governor Bangerter aided Fish Lake by
providing a state maintained road to the
resort.
In 1917, the first hotel was demolished
and the second hotel, consisting of two
new buildings, was constructed in its place.
The new building had a lobby, large fireplace, and dining room with six tables. An
annex housed eight guest bedrooms. This
was also the time that marked the beginning of construction for one-room camp
houses.

FIRST WORD IN PRESERVATION
There’s a Wallace Stegner quote that reads, “It should not be denied... that being footloose
has always exhilarated us. It is associated in our minds with escape from history and oppression and law and irksome obligations, with absolute freedom, and the road has always
led West.”
Now is your chance to capture that footloose feeling and connect with Utah’s history!
The first of two ways is to travel through the towns of Central and Southern Utah by
reading this newsletter whereby you’ll read about important historic places that have been
built throughout the state and how they are now being saved by local activists and residents
with the help of Utah Heritage Foundation. Field Representative, Susan Crook, has been
criss-crossing the region over the last six months to build new preservation partnerships
and develop new ideas for preservation. With much time behind the wheel and on the
pavement of Utah’s many Main Streets, the fruits of these labors are now taking shape.
Some ideas, like Main Street, have been around a long time and can still be found, in
places like Panguitch, functioning like well-oiled machines, even without state funding and
state coordination. Dedicated communities keep these programs running locally because
they’ve found it makes sense to build economic capacity as well as adding to the town’s
unique characteristics.
The second way to get that footloose feeling of exhilaration is to sign up for the 2010
Members Trip and travel these western roads of history to Wayne County. More information for this year’s event can be found on page 13. It’s an outstanding opportunity to
see the amazing natural and historic resources firsthand at Fish Lake, Torrey, and Capitol
Reef National Park. You won’t want to leave your camera at home! Susan will share her
experiences with you and we hope to hear your input about the potential for preservation
in Wayne County.
Come see for yourself on August 14th and you won’t be disappointed. And you never
know what surprises we’ll have in store along the way.

Profiles in Preservation
Stories from the Field, By Susan Crook, Field Representative
Fillmore has Capital Aspirations
Fillmore is a small town with big
blocks, wide streets and really smart
people who want to keep it that way.
The city was laid out similar to downtown Salt Lake City’s Plat of Zion, with
10-acre blocks and streets that are 132feet wide. After all, Fillmore was Utah’s
first capital. And just so you don’t forget
that grand plan, the grid layout and street
width are noted in the city’s new general
plan update, and protected throughout
the city with a zoning ordinance, thanks
in no small part to Lisa Crosland.
Deputy Recorder/ Zoning Administrator/ Historic Preservation Planner
extraordinaire Lisa Crosland began
working for the City of Fillmore in 2001
after seven years as Deputy County Clerk
for Millard County and a little time off
for child-rearing.
Commenting on the move to protect
the town layout, I asked, “Lisa, how
did you get so smart in Fillmore?” She
said, “We just got lucky and have great
consultants.”
In 2008 Lisa helped reinstate the
Historic Preservation Commission so
Fillmore could become a Certified Local
Government (CLG). Two years and two
CLG grants later, they’ve hired a consultant to nominate the unique 1926 log
The main office of the Spinning Wheel Motel is one of Fillmore’s oldest homes. Located
at 65 South Main Street, it is in the heart of Fillmore’s historic Downtown.
American Legion Hall to the National
Register of Historic Places, worked with
Utah State Park Service to stabilize the
foundation of Fort Deseret in the west
desert, and are preparing a self-guided
walking tour brochure of Fillmore’s
historic downtown.
Lisa notes, “For
a small community
we have great, qualified peopled on our
historic preservation commission.” I’ll
second that, and add, also great staff. The
preservation movement continues to thrive
in Millard County thanks to the citizens
and their strong leadership.
The Territorial Statehouse Museum shares the block with the Fillmore
City Offices, Millard County Courthouse, and National Guard Armory.

Profiles in Preservation
Stories from the Field, By Susan Crook, Field Representative
Panguitch – A Main Street “Pardner”
Community
Effervescent, no, just plain bubbly,
is how I’d describe Cheryl Church,
proprietor of the Blue Pine Motel and
director of the Panguitch Main Street
Committee. Panguitch became a Main
Street Partner in 1997 when Utah’s
Main Street Program was on the rise.
They must not have gotten the memo
about the demise of the state’s Main
Street Program in 2006, being so far out
in the hinterlands and all, because this
Main Street Partner, or should I say,
“Pardner,” is going strong.
Western themed shops and eateries,
and mom & pop motels abound, well
maybe not actually abound. Panguitch might be a little too small for an
abundance of buildings, but there is
boundless enthusiasm and optimism.
The businesses in the well-kept historic
buildings along Main
and Center Streets
look both prosperous
and inviting. The
clerks are as perky as
the facades, cheerful,
full of information
about the other businesses and community events.
The town’s signature event, The Quilt
Walk Festival, was
started by the Main
Street Committee
and now happens
annually. This event
has been so successful it had to be spun
off with a separate
organization to oversee it. Don’t miss this
year’s Quilt Walk Fes-
A namesake “big fish” weather vane tops the courthouse in
Panguitch, the Garfield County seat.
On this section of Panguitch’s historic Main Street you can find funky Western themed
shops and eateries.
tival on June 10-12. The Balloon Festival,
June 25-27, is the biggest event still run by
the Main Street Committee, followed by
the Big Fish Fiddler Festival in July. (Panguitch means “big fish” in Native American parlance.) Taste of Panguitch is held
on the Friday night of the Fiddler Festival
as a fundraiser with donations going to the
Main Street Committee. The Committee
also hosts a fundraiser lunch during the
Desperado Dual Bike Tour, August 6-7.
With all these activities throughout
the summer, you can just forget those big
national parks and come set a spell in lil’
ol’ Panguitch.

Fish Lake: The Lure of a Historic Lodge
(continued from front cover)
Having studied electrical engineering
in Wisconsin before returning home
to work in the family business, Charles
Skougaard was adept with engineering
and building techniques. So when it
came to construction, he dreamed of
building a grand lodge, similar to those
you find at the larger parks like the
Grand Canyon and Bryce Canyon.
Skougaard served as designer and
contractor for the present day lodge
that was constructed
between 1928 - 1931.
Constructed mostly from
pine and aspen trees that
surrounded the lake, the
building was about a city
block long when completed.
Central to the building was
a grand lobby with two large
stone fireplaces, whose construction was of local stone.
With the size and span of
the building, it’s difficult to
imagine that only manpower and genuine horse-power
were used in erecting and
placing the beams, pillars
and trusses. The lodge itself
opened in 1929 but was
not completed until 1931.
The ballroom became a popular site
for dances during the lodge’s heyday
(roughly between 1930 and 1960).
These photos
show the different types of cabins that surround
Fish Lake. They
provide easy access to lake activities and a more
comfortable place
for visitors to stay.
The resort itself was so popular that
there was, at one time, enough boats for
100 families to be out at the same time
docked at the marina.
As the Forest
Service began changing national policies,
several events took
place that would
change the character
of Fish Lake. Starting in the 1930s, the
agency began disallowing commercial
and private cabins
on the lakefront.
This was a decided
move by the Forest
Service to balance
public and private
benefits along the
lakeshore in order
to reduce pollutive

well as minimize scenic viewshed issues.
The Forest Service negotiated terms with
property owners to move to new lots in the
mountains, resulting in the removal of the
original cabins which had a tremendous
impact on the overall resort. The impact
was a change in the aesthetic as well as the
feeling of community at Fish Lake.
There have only been three major owners for the resort: the Skougaard family
until 1963; Derk and Jinny Strickwerda
(1963-unknown); and Fish Lake Resort
Associates (1983-present). Several minor
owners were in possession of the property
between the Strickwerdas and the current
owner.
Today, Fish Lake remains a traditional
destination for families from across the
region. Nearly 100 years later, its history,
natural setting, and consistent ability to
deliver big fish continue to be a lure. The
ballroom still serves as a gathering place
for up to 1,000 people for LDS Sunday
church services and scout groups. The
Forest Service and Fish Lake Resort Associates are currently considering designation on the National Register of Historic
Places for the lodge, an honorary designation that could bring great recognition as
well as the future ability to gain tax credits
for rehabilitation of the lodge.
We hope to bait our members to join the
UHF Board of Trustees to see the historic
lodge and cabins on the Members Trip to
Wayne County on August 13-15. Come
and share your fish stories!
