Huntington Reservoir is a warm-water lake just outside the town of Huntington in Emery County, set between the cliffs of the Wasatch Plateau and the desert of the San Rafael Swell. It warms up early in the summer, it rarely feels crowded, and it is a local favorite for waterskiing, wakeboarding and jet skiing. We offer the best boats, jet skis and water toys at Huntington, ready and waiting for you right at the lake.

Boat and Jet Ski Rentals on Huntington
Huntington is a small, friendly lake, perfect for a relaxed day of laps behind the boat.

Gateway to Castle Country
Huntington is a great base for exploring Emery County. Huntington Canyon, part of the Energy Loop scenic byway, climbs from town up to Electric Lake high on the Wasatch Plateau, and Joe's Valley Reservoir is about 40 minutes away by way of Orangeville. To the east, the San Rafael Swell has deep canyons, big overlooks and miles of ATV trails.
The town and the reservoir are named for the Huntington brothers, Oliver, William and Dimick, who explored this area in 1855.
Our Boats and Jet Skis
Getting to Huntington Reservoir
Huntington Reservoir is about two and a half hours from Salt Lake City. Take Interstate 15 south to U.S. Highway 6 at Spanish Fork, follow it over Soldier Summit to Price, then take State Route 10 south about 20 miles to the park, just north of the town of Huntington.
Good to Know at Huntington Reservoir
- Utah boating rules: Utah requires anyone 12 to 17 who drives a jet ski to complete a youth boating safety course, and kids under 16 may drive a boat only with an adult 18 or older on board. Our rental drivers must be 18 or older with a valid driver's license.
- Life jackets: everyone on a jet ski and anyone being towed must wear a life jacket, and so must children 12 and under on a boat.
- Share the lake: Huntington is popular with anglers, so give fishing boats, kayaks and float tubes plenty of room
- Clean, drain and dry: if you bring your own boat, paddle board or kayak, clean, drain and dry it every time you leave Huntington Reservoir to help keep invasive mussels out of other Utah lakes.
