Utah Public Water

[skippabcool]

I am from northern Utah and will be headed back to Utah for a family reunion. We are having it at Jordanelle. I have never been there and wanted to know what there is that I should know or be aware of. After that we are planning to head to Bear Lake for a couple of days.

Is there any other water that would be as good or better than Bear Lake?


I did this for Colorado maybe one for Utah is good. A list of lakes and their pros and cons. There are actually a couple that are over the border into Idaho but I will stick to Utah. I have missed some but just put up what I know. Hope this will help someone.


Newton - Used for irrigation so if it is dry it gets used up quick. Small

Hyrum - Small lots of moss

Willard - Can be choppy

Bear Lake - Big nice beaches. They claim this year most of the beaches will disappear. Cold

Pineview -

Jordanelle -

Utah Lake - shallow and nasty (that is where I test drove my boat)

Deer Creek -

Strawberry -

Sevier -

Sand Hollow - Mussels found

Quail Creek - Have to decontaminate at Sand Hollow

Flaming Gorge as well its N/W

I have been to Jordan two or three times nice lake water temps the same as Bear Lake (fro
What I hear) going to bear lake this summer.

Also east Canyon that is where I test drive my first Tige. Small and gets crowded on the weekends ( Jordan does as well)

Utah lake is 25-30 min from my home wish it wasn't so shallow but boy is it wide and warm water (due to how shallow) also has a lot of glass water. The reason so murky it grows alge from te shallow water and boats turn up the botto
As they drive around. I test drove some wave runners last weekend at Utah and it was freaking full the ramp was almost all the way under water.

But for the most part I go to Flaming Gorge (my in laws have a place) huge lake cold water temps the Utah side is nice the wyo side is more dirt/desert like. No mussels at any of those.

This early in the summer Jordanelle usually has a lot of wood floating around so watch out. Jordanelle will also be freezing. I was up there about a month ago and it was extremely low.

Pineview- medium body of Warm water, sandy beaches(one of the only places i'd beach my boat), crowded on weekends, Scary tiger muskies, deep water

Rockport- Very rocky, no beaches, windy in afternoons, cold until july, glass in the mornings and just before dark
