Oquirrh Lake

Paddle Boat Oquirrh Lake's 65-acres of open water, its surrounding parks and open spaces combined provide an area larger than Sugarhouse Park for many types of outdoor recreation.  Even better: Daybreak residents have access to kayaks, rowboats, and sailboats at no charge!  

REMINDER: LAKE AND PARK BATHROOMS are now closed for the season. Bathrooms will open up again next Spring.

Personal Watercraft Permits


Residents can obtain a boating permit for personal, non-motorized watercraft use after completing a Daybreak Community Association lake orientation. Each permit is $10 and is good throughout the 2010 season. The orientation can be taken at the south boat ramp during regular dock hours, or at the Association office, Monday through Friday, between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm. When using personal watercraft, please remember the south boat ramp is the only area tha authorized for launch.

Fishing Regulations


The lake has been stocked with trout, bluegill, channel catfish, and largemouth bass.  A valid Utah State fishing license is required, and all corresponding rules apply.  Please stay within designated fishing areas, and some of our landscaping is still fragile, and be respectful of other users, especially boaters.

Please note that swimming and wading are not allowed in Oquirrh Lake at this time, due to negative effects on water quality and ecosystem balance.
