The Provo River is a 70-mile-long river located in Utah, USA. The river has played a significant role in the history of the region, serving as a source of water for the Native American populations and later, for the pioneers who settled in the area. The river begins at the Uinta Mountains and flows into Utah Lake. It is fed by several tributaries, including the Weber River and the Duchesne River. The hydrology of the river is heavily influenced by the Jordanelle and Deer Creek reservoirs, which were built in the 1980s and 1960s, respectively. These reservoirs help to regulate the water flow and provide water for agricultural and recreational purposes. The Provo River is a popular destination for fishing, rafting, and camping, with several state parks and recreation areas located along its banks.
