Hype:
Lincoln Point extends into the southern portion of Utah Lake and serves as a quiet access point for boating, fishing, and lakeside recreation. Its small harbor provides a place for launching and docking boats, making it a functional destination for lake users rather than a developed resort area.
One of Lincoln Point’s most distinctive features is a warm spring that flows near the shore, attracting visitors interested in soaking or observing the geothermal activity along the lake’s edge. The surrounding landscape is open and rugged, with West Mountain rising immediately to the south, creating a sense of separation from nearby towns.
From the peninsula, visitors have broad, unobstructed views across Utah Lake toward Mount Timpanogos, especially striking during clear mornings and sunsets. Seasonal water levels, insects, and weather conditions strongly affect the experience, making late spring through early fall the most comfortable and visually appealing times to visit.

When I was at Classic Fun Center, I got a text message from my coworker in Heber about the Northern Lights. I was super excited to see them but couldn’t see anything in the city, so I arranged a little sightseeing trip to the south end of Utah Lake at Lincoln Point. Anthony and Miller met up at our house, then Tara, Savannah, Cooper, and I jumped in with them and we drove out there. My parents joined us a few minutes later.
We took some pictures and could get some red glow to show up on the camera, but it was too dim to see with our eyes at first. It was still fun to catch a little bit. Then over on the east side, a little bit of red appeared that we could actually see with our eyes, which was really exciting.
We decided to wait a little longer to see if anything else appeared, and we were glad we did. About fifteen minutes after we arrived, the whole sky lit up. We could see the reddish glow across the north and east and it was so cool. We had a lot of fun posing for pictures silhouetted in front of the sky until our cameras died. Then the glow faded again.
I’m sure the lights weren’t nearly as bright as in other locations and times, but it was incredibly fun for us and we were all really excited it worked out. I was bracing myself for seeing nothing after our last attempt, so it was nice to actually see them!
