The Shore of Utah Lake



I don't know what you expect as the shore of a lake but likely Utah Lake does not fit into your previous experience. This is part of the Provo River Delta, the historical channel the river took to empty into the lake. Presently, the Provo River is mostly channelized and empties some distance to the left of this area of the shoreline. There is a major project that is just beginning to realign the river and recreate the wetland area of the delta. Here is a link to the Provo River Delta Restoration Project. This photo was taken from the western end of the Provo River Trail that is called the Skipper Bay Dike Trail. There is talk about connecting the Skipper Bay Dike Trail to the Jordan River Trail at some time in the future.
