Mona Reservoir, reservoir in Juab County, Utah, United States
Mona Reservoir is a water storage lake in Juab County, Utah, located on Currant Creek and formed by an earthen dam. The body of water sits in the northern part of Juab Valley at an elevation of about 4,882 feet (1,488 meters) amid rolling hills and open land with minimal development nearby.
The reservoir was built in 1895 by constructing an earthen dam across Currant Creek to store water for farming and local needs. It has served as a key part of Utah's water management system for over a century, supporting agriculture and settlements in the region.
The reservoir is accessible from the nearby town of Mona and offers open space for picnicking, walking, and water activities like boating and fishing when water levels permit. Check conditions before visiting since water levels change with the seasons and affect what activities are possible.
The lake is surrounded by rolling hills that shift noticeably with the seasons, turning white with snow in winter while in summer the water flow helps keep the surrounding land green. This seasonal transformation offers visitors different visual experiences depending on when they arrive.
