Boatman Lake is part of the Rattlesnake Creek Drainage in the East Pioneer Mountains. The lake is very shallow, but has a well defined inlet and outlet which allow fish to live in the lake. The shoreline consists of large rocks and sand; the lake is entirely surrounded by forest with little to no open areas. Human impact is low on this lake even with the ease of access.
