Be a responsible explorer

Bountiful Pond is easily accessed by from Bountiful City or by Legacy Parkway (500 S. ramp).

Note: You may have heard Bountiful Pond referred to as Bountiful Lake. They are the same thing. I still call it Bountiful Pond because the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources fish report calls it Bountiful Pond.

I have been to Bountiful Lake many times when I used to live in North Salt Lake. It is a great place to have a picnic and go fishing. There are many picnic tables with BBQs and plenty of space to play football or throw a Frisbee.

The parking lot provides enough parking for about 2 dozen vehicles and the restrooms are also located here. The pond has a trail that runs its entire perimeter which is about 1.25 miles. It’s a very easy trail and worth doing if you haven’t done it before. I talked with several people who frequent the pond and they said some of the better fishing spots are located by the bridge on the west side of the pond.

If you are fishing, you are only allowed to possess two fish. Make sure you have a fishing permit too.

There are two islands on the pond.

The pond provides incredible views of the Wasatch mountains along Davis County.

Personal Thoughts

Bountiful Pond is a great place to bring families. I have visited when the pond has been jam packed with several hundred people fishing and having parties all over the place. I have also been here when I am the only one. Regardless, it is always a great place to visit. There is a downside about this pond: it's located parallel to Legacy Parkway so you can hear the roar of cars no matter where you are on the pond.
