History of the Jordan River, Utah |
 | | Jordan River is the northward-flowing, forty-mile-long waterway connecting Utah Lake on the south with the Great Salt Lake. |
 | | The Jordan was again used to float construction materials in 1869, this time floating logs and ties for use on the Central Utah Railroad. |
 | | Since the 1980s the Jordan River and its environs have come to be thought of as an urban oasis, offering a variety of recreational activities such as the International Peace Gardens, jogging and equestrian trails, fishing, canoeing, a water slide, a model airplane park, golf courses, and other attractions. |
