SPLISH SPLASHThis is mountain country so about the only flat thing around here are our lakes and reservoirs. Over 13,000 acres of fresh water lakes are home to warm water fish species including largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, perch, bluegill, tiger muskie and walleye. They’re also home to such warm water species as boats, personal watercraft, waterskiers, flat water kayakers and wakeboarders. When these waters freeze over, they’re prime destinations for ice fishing.
PINEVIEWPineview Reservoir is the busiest reservoir for its size in the state of Utah. You can leave your hotel and be at the water’s edge within one-half hour. The scenery around Pineview is worth the visit. Seeing the mountains from the surface of the water is an experience to remember.Port Ramp MarinaLocated on the west shoreline of the reservoir, this is the most used launching facility. The road into the marina has a large Forest Service sign identifying the site immediately across from Highway 158. The facility has a concrete ramp to launch boats and a large paved parking lot. It also has a gravel lot used for overflow parking. Next to the public docks is a system of plastic docks for long-term storage of boats. The fenced-in lot near the entry station is also for long-term boat storage. A sewage dump station is available next to the public restrooms in the paved parking lot. Use this system to help keep the water clean! Visit the Forest Service website for the latest information about Pineview Reservoir. www.fs.fed.us/.
