Stay Safe on Strawberry Reservoir | Salt Lake City News

Labor Day weekend brought thousands to Strawberry Reservoir, leading to a spike in emergency rescues—two to three per week, even more on holidays. Officials warn water safety is just as vital as road safety, especially with summer winding down. A major culprit? Boating under the influence. But simple preparedness can turn danger into fun: always have throwable flotation devices, fire extinguishers, and a working horn—and most importantly, ensure every person on board wears a properly fitting life jacket. Stay hydrated, take breaks, and never go out alone—always have a buddy. With smart choices and mutual watchfulness, you can enjoy the water without needing rescue.
