Deer Creek Reservoir is located near Heber, Utah, and was created in 1941 with the construction of a dam on the Provo River. It is mostly used for irrigation and recreation. The lake is stocked with perch, walleye, rainbow trout, brown trout, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and carp. The lake is warm, allowing fishing all year round. Visitors also enjoy swimming, boating, sailing, water-skiing, and windsurfing. The snow-covered peaks of Mount Timpanogos reflect in the clear water of the lake, creating spectacular views from the aspen-covered lake banks. There are two campgrounds in Deer Creek State Park, which also has a nice beach, picnic tables, a fish cleaning station, and restrooms. Map
