New lake for Utah fishermen

[doggonefishin]

Like all good April fools pranks, (not to say that this one was necessarily a good one) there is a smidgen of truth to it. My father told me that back in the 1950's, the government was looking into the feasibility of damming the Jordan either in the narrows or in an area in Riverton. The studies apparently were not favorable and nothing was ever done. The Jordan river "basin" is now so heavily developed with new homes that it would likely be impossible financially and politically to even consider it now. Besides, I doubt the citizens of Lehi would be overjoyed to have their culinary water come out of the Jordan.[]

Anyhow, happy April fools day all.
