Samak Smoke House and Country Store, located on the scenic Mirror Lake Hwy, has been serving customers since 1972 and is a popular stop near the Uinta National Forest. It offers a variety of smoked products, including jerky, trout, salmon, and cheeses, with options to choose the smoke level on some items. The store also features baked goods, espresso, to-go sandwiches, local gifts, park passes, maps, beer, and camping supplies, making it a convenient spot for outdoor enthusiasts. The rustic yet clean shop has a cozy atmosphere with friendly staff who provide helpful service and a welcoming environment. Visitors appreciate the delicious homemade treats, especially the smoked cheeses and "stickies," and enjoy the chance to sample different products. Though prices can be high, many find the quality worth it. The store is a charming mountain gem, perfect for preparing for a day of fishing, hiking, or scenic drives.

I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out. I have had smoked salmon, trout, cheese, and beef jerky, among other snack items from this place and it is all incredible. The smoked salmon is especially good!
