renowned for their size, given the reservoir's location so close to Salt Lake City. Shore fishing can be done virtually any time of the year—though the Little Dell park entrance at the highway may be closed during winter months, anglers and hikers can still walk down to the water's edge from the parking area near the gate. Fishing can also be done from non-motorized small watercraft, such as kayaks, canoes, float tubes, or other non-motorized means. There is a small hand-launch boat ramp at the western endpoint of the asphalt-paved road, which switch-backs from the gate at the highway down to the water below. Since its creation, Little Dell has become a popular outdoor recreation and picnic spot for residents of Salt Lake County, and beyond. Day access to the reservoir's facilities can be obtained at the gate for a $5.00 fee. The season runs from Memorial Day through October, though, as mentioned for anglers, walk-down access from the parking area outside the gate is year-round. Little Dell Reservoir can be best viewed from Little Mountain Pass, located at the top of Emigration Canyon.
