Grand opening event being held for new Provo River delta

After four years in the making, the newly restored Provo River delta is opening to the public later this month, and the partnering agencies involved in the massive undertaking are hosting a free event to celebrate the opening of the renovated area.

Construction on the Provo River Delta Restoration Project began in March 2020, after more than a decade of planning and coordination amongst multiple agencies. The nearly 260-acre project, located a half-mile north of Utah Lake State Park, restored a functioning delta between the Lower Provo River and Utah Lake to help in the recovery of the threatened June sucker, a fish found nowhere else in the world.
 

"A major impediment to June sucker recovery was the lack of nursery habitat for young June suckers," Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Recovery Program Director Sarah Seegert said. "Adult June suckers spawn in tributaries like the Provo River, and the larvae drift downstream into warmer, slower-moving areas with enough aquatic plants to provide a place to hide from predators. Until recently, these types of habitats were extremely limited in Utah Lake. The wetland vegetation in the new Provo River delta will provide young June suckers a place to hide from predators until they grow large enough to move into the lake where they can continue to adulthood."
