Grantsville Reservoir
Grantsville Reservoir
This reservoir, just south of Grantsville, was formed by piling rock in a U-shape on a hillside. From a distance, it looks like a cattle pond but is actually much larger than it appears. Spring fishing can be quite good but it's main appeal is that it can be reached in half an hour from Salt Lake. This is one place you can actually sit in your car while you fish.
Location: 35 mi. W of Salt Lake City, 2 mi. S of Grantsville. Take 2100 South Freeway to westbound I-80. Turn off at exit 99 to Tooele/Stansbury Park. Turn right to Grantsville just before you reach Stansbury Park. Drive through Grantsville to the last road to the left just before the turn past town. About 2 miles from town, take the first paved road to the right. Stay on the pavement and it will take you right up to the reservoir.
Facilities: 23 picnic tables with barbeque grills clustered in 3 groups with 24 RV pads, 1 pavillion, portable toilets in the summer, no water, unimproved overflow area. Small boat launching from beach (no gas boat motors). No fees.
There is additional camping in nearby canyons.
