Canyon Lake

Bring Your Boat and Fishing Pole

Description

This 950-acre lake--along with four other area reservoirs--was created when the Salt River was dammed in 1925 by the Mormon Flat Dam. It is an outdoor recreation mecca for locals and visitors alike, especially those who like to play on the water. There are over 28 miles of shoreline to explore at the lake, making it a good place to beach your boat for a picnic on the sand. Some of the most popular recreation activities enjoyed here include boating, water skiing, jet skiing, sailing, and, of course, swimming. The lake is also a great place to fish, as there are many secluded coves and inlets just waiting to be found for casting a line for bluegill, bass, catfish, walleye, and other species. The Canyon Lake Marina and Campground is a good place to go to rent any water equipment you'll need, as well as stock up on supplies and dock your boat.
