The road to the base of the dam is narrow and paved. Once the pavement ends, the road up to the top of the dam is very rough and dusty. There are no boat launches at Porcupine but there are two areas were a boat can be launched from. The first area is a very steep canyon with an extremely sharp turn at the top were you leave the road. The canyon is full of very large rocks (basket ball size and under) that you need to weave through both coming and going. You WILL need a 4-wheel drive truck to use this area. I launched my old 16 foot Tracker Deep V in this area maybe a dozen time with minor difficulty. Further back is a hard sand beach area that will let you launch with less difficulty and can be done in 2-wheel drive early in the season before the water level gets too low. Later in the year, the angle of the launch area gets steeper as the water recedes and you will propbably want 4-wheel drive to use it. I have launched my 20 foot Thunder Jet at this area once and won't do it again. The road is just to rough, narrow, and dusty for me and I won't be taking my boat up there anymore.
Lost creek is a much better choice as it does now have a paved road all the way to the concrete launch ramp. Just be aware that Lost Creek has a slot limit on all fish taken there and 99.9% of the fish are in the slot. If fish to eat is the goal, Lost Creek is a very poor choice.
There are 4 waters listed on the WATERCRAFT RESTRICTIONS LIST as wakeless: Causey Reservoir (Weber County), Lost Creek (Morgan County), Porcupine Reservoir (Cache County, Porcupine Reservoir Company), and Smith and Morehouse (Summit County). Lost Creek is the only one with an improved boat launch and none of them have courtesy docks. You will have to get in and out of the boat from the shoreline. And launching ANY vessel on Causey requires you to drag it or carry it to the water.
Good Luck.
