Utah and Salt Lake Canal
The Utah and Salt Lake Canal is an historic waterway in Salt Lake County, Utah, United States.[1]
Description
The canal was financed wholly by Salt Lake County, and construction lasted from 1872[2] to 1881. It was built "with only basic tools and contracted manual labor."[3] The settlement that became present-day Riverton was limited to the Jordan River bottoms until this canal was constructed.
