Strawberry Reservoir, Reservoir in Strawberry Valley, United States.

Strawberry Reservoir is a large water body in Wasatch County surrounded by mountain ranges and forest. The lake sits at an elevation around 7,500 feet (2,286 meters) and covers thousands of acres with clear water and varied shorelines.

The Bureau of Reclamation built the original Strawberry Dam in 1913 about eight miles upstream of the present site; it was deliberately breached in 1985. The 1972 Soldier Creek Dam, an earthen structure 272 feet tall and 1,290 feet long at its crest, was built as part of the Central Utah Project and raised storage capacity from 283,000 to 1,106,500 acre-feet.

Kokanee salmon were first brought here in 1937 as eggs from Pend Oreille Lake, Idaho, and have been restocked after every chemical treatment. The reservoir's four fishing areas are the Strawberry Basin, holding 64 percent of its volume, the Meadows, the Soldier Creek Basin and the Narrows. Anglers must release all cutthroat trout measuring 15 to 22 inches.

The reservoir lies 23 miles southeast of Heber on U.S. Route 40, with four fishing areas: Strawberry Basin, The Meadows, Soldier Creek Basin and The Narrows. From 2008, all cutthroat trout between 15 and 22 inches must be released regardless of health, and anglers are asked to release every cutthroat voluntarily. Any trout showing cutthroat features counts as a cutthroat under 2021 rules.

In 1990 the entire lake underwent chemical treatment to remove all aquatic life, then selected fish species were reintroduced. This extreme measure reshaped what lives in the water today.
