Canyon Entrance Park
Park Type: Special Use Park/Facility
Park Location: US 89 & Canyon Road
Park History: Canyon Entrance Park is located at the mouth of Logan Canyon, south of Highway 89. The park borders First Dam Reservoir and is used extensively by various members of the community. Activities include picnicking, fishing, swimming, spotting wildlife, and feeding the ducks and geese. This park is one of the most heavily used parks and serves as the trailhead for the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
The deed for the property at the mouth of Logan Canyon was transferred from Utah Power to the Logan City Light and Power in 1973. In 1974, park plans and development of the 27.5 acres began. A portion of the dam was dredged in an effort to stop erosion and create a better fishing environment. Additional improvements to the park have been added over the years. The restroom was built in 1990, two fishing piers were added in 1992, and later a parking lot with curb and gutter were added. A pedestrian underpass was added in 2005 as part of the UDOT Highway 89 Bridge Improvement Project. This underpass provides a safe crossing for park patrons wishing to access the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and will provide future access to Ray Hugie Hydro Park. In 2009 a covered pavilion was built to accommodate the of the community.
In December of 1996, Robert Harris deeded an additional three acres on the south side of the reservoir. This portion of the park is undeveloped and will remain in its natural state.
