May is Water Safety Month 

Nationally, 80% of people who drowned in boating accidents would have survived had they been wearing a life jacket.”

– United States Coast Guard

Every life lost impacts a family. In May 2020, Priscilla Bienkowski and Sophia Hernandez, two teenage friends from Saratoga Springs, were reported missing after swimming near the Knolls area on the west side of Utah Lake. Eight days later their bodies were found miles from where they entered the lake.

Family and friends of the two girls approached the Utah County Commission in July 2020 suggesting a life jacket loaner station be available near The Knolls entrance for recreators to borrow and leave life jackets free of charge. The Utah Lake Commission has since partnered with the two families to expand upon their idea; making it a lake-wide life jacket loaner program with six initial stations at public access points around the lake and more to come!

Utah Lake Life Jacket Program 

The program provides the public free use of life jackets on a first-come, first-served basis at six of the major access points around Utah Lake. Monetary donations will help construct loaner stations, purchase life jackets, raise public awareness and support water safety education and outreach efforts.

 

Photography Club

Utah Lake Photography club, founded in 2017, is composed of mostly local photographers who have a love for beauty everywhere and a passion for Utah Lake and its beauty. These photographers have generously donated their photographs to help raise awareness and support for the Utah Lake Life Jacket program.

Important Dates: Photo Submission and Voting Open March 31 to April 14. 

We appreciate our sponsors!
