Strawberry River (Utah)
The Strawberry River is an 18-mile (29 km) river located in eastern Utah, United States.
Strawberry River's headwaters are located in the Wasatch Mountains of the western Uintah Basin. The river flows east into Strawberry Reservoir, and then out through Soldier Creek Dam.
The first 8 miles (13 km) below Soldier Creek Dam is owned by the Bureau of Land Management, and is one of Utah's most productive brown and cutthroat trout fisheries, and was one of the first waters in Utah to be designated a Quality Fishing Stream. This part of the river can only be accessed by a trail that runs along the north bank. No motorized vehicles are allowed. 12 miles (19 km) below Soldier Creek Dam the river runs by the Strawberry Pinnacles (sedimentary formations) where it is joined by the tributaries Avintaquin Creek and Red Creek. The narrow canyon that the river runs through is characterized by high steep cliffs and dense foliage. The river ends when it joins the Duchesne River east of the town of Duchesne, Utah.
During extremely cold winters, areas of the river have frozen solid, causing the river to overflow its banks and flood the canyon floor. This happened in 1983 and 2000.
The residents living along the river form the community of Strawberry, Utah.
