Currant Creek Reservoir is a large reservoir that is not very well known as a fishing and recreation destination, but is relatively close to the Wasatch Front. It supplements Strawberry Reservoir to store spring runoff from the Duchesne River and Rock Creek drainages and releases it to the Wasatch Front over the course of the year. The reservoir shoreline is 85% owned by the Uinta National Forest. The remaining 15%, in the Coal Mine Hollow Area, is privately owned with restricted access.
