USAC’S POSITION ON ANGLER ACCESS ON THE LOWER PROVO RIVER

Have you been confused about whether you are permitted to fish on the Lower Provo River? You are not alone. The Lower Provo currently sits in a legal gray area: If it is designated or adjudicated as navigable, there would be no question that you are permitted to recreate on the beds and banks of the river so long as you enter it from a lawful access point. But it hasn’t been deemed navigable and none of the relevant state agencies appear to be interested in settling this uncertainty.
