East Canyon Reservoir

Tucked away in the mountains of northeastern Utah on the Wasatch Back, East
Canyon Reservoir is a popular destination for boating, fishing, and camping
that is only 45 minutes from Salt Lake. The reservoir is a beautiful, local
gem that locals love to share with visitors. At 5,700 feet, East Canyon State
Park sits about 1,500 feet higher than Salt Lake, making it a cool mountain
escape in the warmer months.

The reservoir sits on 685 acres and has great fishing and amenities, including
some handicap accessible sites. Visitors can reserve campsites, both developed
and primitive, and yurts, cabins or group sites at the state park as well
condos at the nearby East Canyon Resort. Boat and equipment rentals are
available at Club Rec. The park also holds a bit of history. You can explore
the nearby Mormon Pioneer Trail, the route taken by Mormons traveling more
than 1,300 miles from Illinois to Utah. Make a reservation on the Utah State
