 - Deer Creek Reservoir -

    Deer Creek Reservoir sits at the south west end of the Heber valley, right at the top of Provo Canyon, just a shade under 50 miles from Salt Lake City.  This lake is fairly popular with the sailing and wind surfing crowd, as there is  fairly consistent winds there.  The reservoir is for the most part long and narrow, but hosts a good selection of fish.  The town of Heber, Utah is the closest provisioning point if you're looking for groceries and such.
     The Heber Valley is very scenic, with the backside of Mount Timpanogas providing an awe-inspiring backdrop.  The Heber Creeper is an old steam train that is still in service, pulling a short collection of passenger cars up and down a portion of the Provo Canyon.  As the train goes between Heber and the canyon, it skirts the northern end of the reservoir, making for an exciting spectacle.
