About: -Fairview Lakes - Fairview Lake #2 is the
larger of the Fairview Lakes--two adjacent lakes in a wide glaciated Graben Valley
on
the north end of the Wasatch Plateau. Lake #2 is
intermediate-sized, while Lake #1 is much smaller. The
lakes are privately owned and have summer homes on
their northeast shore.
The lakes were
created in 1869 by the construction of an earth-fill dam. Water is captured from
the
headwaters of the
Price River and stored for agricultural
use in the Sanpete Valley. The reservoir and shoreline
are owned by the Cottonwood-Gooseberry Irrigation Company with somewhat restricted public access.
