Review & FAQ:

Located in the Utah Valley and surrounded by the Provo/ Orem metropolitan area, Utah Lake is an easily accessible freshwater fishing lake.

The shallow waters of Utah Lake provide the ideal temperature for a warm-water fishery.

The most commonly-hooked fish on this dam include white bass, catfish, largemouth bass and a variety of other pan fish.

There are several good spots to cast your line including Lincoln Beach at the south-eastern corner of the lake, Bird Island and the Knolls, to name but a few.

The lake has several marina areas and no fewer than 27 public access points where you can launch your own boat, have a picnic or stock up on bait and gear.
