A word about Utah Lake State Park !! Back in the 80's when we had the HIGH water, they were pouring concrete on the ground, making slabs 12 inches or so, then using a backhoe to break them up and dump on the dikes at UTLKSP. The wind cause wave action would pick those slabs up (0ver 500lbs) and pull them into the lake. So all around the dikes on the OUTSIDE are big slabs of concrete, that in the low water become prop eating hazards. You have to stay in the channel when leaving the park and entering it, then when you get out of the harbor, go out into the lake for 50-100 yds before turning either direction, other wise you will have a meeting with one of those slabs. If yo drive on the airport dike south of the park, you can see some of them exposed 15-30 ft off the dike where wave action sucked the out !!
