About this river

Sevier River

The Sevier River is located in the western United States, stretching from the western slopes of the Wasatch Mountains in Utah to the Sevier Lake in Millard County, Utah. At 385 miles long, it is one of the longest rivers in Utah, flows through seven counties, and has an average discharge of 285 cubic feet per second. The river has several reservoirs and dams, including Piute Reservoir, Otter Creek Reservoir, and Sevier Bridge Reservoir. These reservoirs provide water for agricultural uses such as irrigation and also serve as popular sites for recreational activities such as fishing and boating. The Sevier River has played an important role in the history of Utah, serving as a vital source of water for early settlers and providing a route for the Mormon Pioneer Trail. Today, the river remains an important resource for the state's agricultural and recreational industries.
