Utah Must Do's #6: Boating on Deer Creek

Have you ever had a desire to maybe get a concussion and hypothermia from a bad fall into a super cold lake? It is actually more fun than it sounds. Not the cold part and not falling but Deer Creek is a place that is indescribable. You can rent a boat and water ski, wake board, surf, or tube all day long! It is placed in the central part of Provo Canyon between Provo and Heber. It is a big lake with surrounding mountains and the canyon on both ends. It is beautiful! Not only is it a beautiful scenery but anything done at a lake is fun. You can fish, you can water glide, and even rent paddle boards and canoe's to play with in a little reserved cove. Since this lake is mostly created from snow runoff, it tends to be extremely cold. The water warms up a little and is breathable without a wet suit in July, August, and sometimes in June and September. Go check it out!!
