Strawberry Reservoir is the fifth largest lake in Utah with an impressive average capacity of 1,107,000 acre-feet of water. This lake is known as Utah’s premier fishing and boating paradise. Nestled high in the Uinta National Forest of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, this lake is a mere 25 minutes from downtown Heber, and less than an hour from Park City, Provo/Orem, and Salt Lake City.
The water exceeds water quality standards and the tributary streams are an ideal spawning habitat.
Cutthroat Trout: approximately 60% of the cutthroat trout in the reservoir result from natural reproduction.
Rainbow Trout: non-game fish are also in the reservoir. Rainbows stocked in Strawberry Reservoir are sterile so they won't cross with pure-strain cutthroats. The sterile Rainbows grow quickly and are a sport fishing dream come true.
Kokanee Salmon: Kokanee also reproduce in the reservoir's tributaries. Management stocks them annually to keep the numbers growing.
Marinas
There are four developed marinas with paved boat ramps. The Strawberry Bay Marina and Lodge are the closest and easiest for immediate access from Heber City.
The Strawberry Bay and Soldier Creek complexes are full-service camping developments, including campground loops, sanitary dump stations, day-use areas, group pavilion sites, and marina stores. More information on camping.
