Causey Reservoir
Located just 25-40 minutes from downtown Ogden along Scenic Byway 39, Causey Reservoir is a142-acre alpine lake known for its calm waters, mountain scenery, and non-motorized recreation. Without motorized boats the reservoir is ideal for kayaking, canoeing, and stand-up paddle boarding. Sitting at 5,700 feet in elevation, the water stays cool throughout the summer, creating excellent conditions for trout and Kokanee salmon fishing.
One of the area's most unique seasonal experiences happens each September during the kokanee salmon run, where vibrant shades of red fish move upstream to spawn. Visitors can enjoy picnicking, wildlife viewing, and hiking nearby. Overnight camping is not permitted at the water's edge. A Utah boater safety course is required for all watercraft users.
