Absolutely stunning place! The water’s edge area is a great place to walk along the lake, especially at sunset! Beautiful how the weather seems to blend into the sky

American fork boat harbor has the cutest little beach perfect for playing in the sand and getting in the water! Great if you don’t have a boat!!

We love to come down to the lake and walk along the path on the west side of the lake in Saratoga Springs!
