Provo Boat Harbor is one of the primary access points on the east side of Utah Lake. It features a concrete boat ramp, large parking area, and a fishing pier that provides excellent shore-based fishing opportunities. The harbor area is protected from wind and waves, making it a good option on windy days. The breakwall and pier attract catfish, white bass, and occasional walleye. Boat anglers can quickly access the deeper central areas of the lake from here.
