south salt lake, UT
As a landlocked state and one of the driest in the nation, can Utah really offer much to adventurous boaters? Yes, absolutely! In fact, the land of Salt Lake City is home to enormous lakes, rippling reservoirs, and rushing rivers.
Utah is the ideal destination for lovers of the great outdoors. Over 40% of the state is taken up by national parks, forests, and other green or mountainous areas. When on land, hiking, biking, and climbing are popular pursuits, but the real excitement is out on the water. Head to Utah Lake, 24 miles long and positioned against the breathtaking backdrop of the Wasatch Mountain Range. Boaters can access the water here from private marinas or the Utah Lake State Park. Angling is popular here, with savvy fishers landing catfish, white bass, walleye, and more.
Or for a different view, sail out on Lake Powell, an enormous stretch of water that reaches into Arizona. There’s plenty of space here to find hideaway holes for swimming, or simply gaze in awe at the glorious red-gold sandstone cliffs and hills.
Owning your own boat means you get to choose your own adventure. Grab a kayak and head to Ogden River for some adrenaline-fueled fun, or head out on the Bear River for some birding—just be aware that there’s a waterfowl hunting season here! Utah boating is as peaceful or as exciting as you want it to be.
