The lake that's a river

Look on any map and it looks like a river.

There's no getting around it--it's a river.

In fact, it's a river.  The lower Colorado.  In 1960 or so they built a damn and called it a lake.

It has a great running and biking trail running the length of it, with several very large parks as well.  I rode a kayak on it, and it reminded me of being in Foster City.  I kind of want to buy a kayak now, but I have no place in Utah to put it down.
