Scenic Deer Creek Reservoir is situated at the base of Mount Timpanogos in the southwest corner of Heber Valley. On a hot summer day, Deer Creek is the perfect place to cool off. Daily canyon winds create ideal conditions for sailing and wind-surfing. Colorful sails dot the waters of Deer Creek every weekend. Wave-runners can find some challenges on the choppy waters of the reservoir in the afternoons and water-skiers usually get lucky with glassy conditions in the early hours of the day. Deer Creek consistently provides some of Utah's finest boat fishing for trout, perch, walleye and smallmouth bass. For those that just want to relax on shore, a sandy beach on the reservoir's northeast side and numerous day use areas provide the ideal setting. One paved and three gravel ramps accommodate boats onto the lake. Two marinas provide boat rentals and gasoline. One campground, accommodating both tents and trailers is available for those wanting to spend more than a day at Deer Creek. Access Deer Creek Reservoir southwest of Heber on US Hwy 189.
