Utah Lake is unique in
that it is one of the largest freshwater lakes in
the West and yet it lies in an arid area that
receives only about 15 inches of rainfall a year.
The mouth of the Provo River, where it empties into
Utah Lake, was undoubtedly a very popular camping
place for the early inhabitants of Utah Valley. At
Utah Lake you can fish year-round for channel
catfish, walleye, white bass, black bass and several
different species of panfish.
