The Yuba Special Recreation Area , conveniently located in Central Utah, offers a variety of water recreation opportunities. Warm summer water temperatures, sandy beaches, nearby off-highway vehicle areas, and fishing for walleye and yellow perch attract visitors year-round. At an elevation of 5,100 feet, the Yuba Special Recreation Area is 25 miles south of Nephi, just off Interstate 15. The reservoir, when full, is 22 miles long and reaches a maximum depth of 80 feet. This recreation area is cooperatively managed by Utah State Parks and Recreation and the USDI Bureau of Land management.

The description, directions and fees are the Bureau of Land Management’s own words, from its record on Recreation.gov.
