Yuba Lake State Park, Levan, Utah

Aug 22nd, 2015 at Yuba Lake State Park, Levan, UT ‪#‎unplugged‬‪#‎terrysweekendadventures‬
Yuba Lake State Park is just an hour south of Provo. It is only 2 miles off of I-15, but is hidden behind a mountain and cannot be seen from the freeway. The area surrounding the lake is the typical arid Utah wilderness, but once you get down on the beach it is completely different than any other lake in the state. It has very fine sandy beaches like you would expect to find at an ocean. The water is cool, but is refreshing on a hot August day. The kids spent the day making sand castles and burying their arms in "quicksand". The wake free zone was far enough out that we could go swimming without worrying about huge waves or out of control waverunners. There are also fire pit rings along the beach for the public that are perfect for s'mores in the evening.
