Thank you EVERYONE: RiverFEST, newspaper articles, Access Utah, and letters in support of maintaining a healthy Little Logan River

 Cache Valley rose up in support of our Little Logan River


Thank you

The headline says it all

"A plan to keep northern Utah lawns green could drastically cut flows in a river that feeds the Great Salt Lake

The president of the irrigation company backing the project said people should have a choice in what water they use to keep their lawns going."

Salt Lake Tribune is now a free newspaper.  If you can afford it, please support their excellent journalism.

Remember: Taxpayers do not have the choice to have our $310 millions of dollars used to install this project.  We have no choice about the annual $2 millions in operating expenses either.

Musicians, neighbors, activists, and regular folks all came to show our love for the Little Logan River in Merlin Olsen Park 

during our first 

ANNUAL RiverFEST

Elaine Wilcox organized the Little Logan RiverFest.
Thank you also to her many excellent helpers.

Reminder:  The Little Logan River was year round in early 1990s in 300-400 E block.  Wilcox family photo.

Little Logan River will lose 80-100% of its river water if the Logan River Watershed Project is implemented. Logan High students will not be able to soak in the chilly waters after sporting events in the Logan High section (under the word "most").  Adults will not able enjoying flows as high as 85 cfs in Jens Johansen and River Hollow Park section (middle arrow).  More than a mile of the Logan River between the Island and First Dam reservoir will have a lot less water because diversion will move to First Dam from their current legal diversion points at about 300 west and 950 east.
