Huntington Reservoir

Huntington Reservoir is in Huntington Canyon high on the east side of the Wasatch Plateau. It is an intermediate sized impoundment of a meadow in a glacial valley. Huntington Reservoir should not be confused with Huntington Lake North, a reservoir immediately outside Huntington City. The reservoir became famous in 1988 when the well-preserved, 9,500 year old skeleton of a Columbian Mammoth was uncovered during reconstruction of the dam. The Huntington Mammoth and replicas have been on display at various museums around the state.
