Stansbury Lake, often called the "Jewel of Stansbury Park," is a 110-acre man-made lake constructed in the early 1970s in Tooele County, Utah. This shallow lake, averaging just 3.5 feet deep, was designed to accommodate maximum residential lots along its shoreline with multiple cul-de-sacs and a center island. The lake receives water from various sources including a deep well, the Millpond, artesian wells, and natural springs that bubble up beneath the lake itself. While originally intended as an irrigation reservoir for the golf course, the water now has too high dissolved solids for irrigation use. The lake features a boat ramp and dock at the Clubhouse Complex and is open from dawn to dark for recreational use.
