Pelican Lake is now ice free. Water temperatures range from 56 to 58 degrees in the afternoon on a warm day. The lake is more than full with around 5 cubic feet per second coming in from the canal. Expect visibility to be poor whenever the wind kicks up.

Pelican Tagged Carp Project: We do have some tagged carp swimming in Pelican Lake that could be worth a $100 cash prize. We encourage you to help with long-term carp management and bring your family and friends out to target carp using all legal methods of take. If you catch/bowfish a carp with a pink tag in it, please keep the tag and go to the website listed on the tag. Your tag could be worth some cash. Please call the DWR Vernal office at 435-781-9453 if you have questions about tagged carp.
