Site details

A large reservoir at the top of Provo Canyon between Provo and Heber, dived mostly around the island near the state park entrance and along Sailboat Beach toward the dam. Maximum lake depth is about 137 feet with typical visibility of 7-10 feet, so it serves mainly as a convenient training and altitude-diving site for Wasatch Front divers. US-189 follows the shore, making access easy.
