Other info
In 1988 a construction project on Huntington dam unearthed a skeleton of an ice age mammoth. Sanpete.com has an excellent article on the discovery of the remains. People often mistakenly call the creature a woolly mammoth but those were thought to not exist in Utah. Instead this is actually a Columbian Mammoth.
Huntington Reservoir is typically one of the few lakes you can ice fish before Thanksgiving each year.
