Can I fish in Oquirrh Lake?

Yes, but if you’re age 12 or older you’ll need a valid Utah State fishing license. The lake has been stocked with trout, bluegill, channel catfish and largemouth bass. Just make sure you stay within the designated fishing areas — some of our landscaping is fragile.

 

Can I swim in Oquirrh Lake or the Watercourse?

Unless you’re competing in the annual Daybreak Triathlon, swimming and wading are not allowed in Oquirrh Lake or the Watercourse due to the effect this would have on the water quality and ecosystem of the lake. Also, because we want to avoid any unfortunate encounters with the large prehistoric creature that is reputed to live in these waters. Just kidding.

 

 Are Oquirrh Lake and the Watercourse open to the public?

Oquirrh Lake, sometimes referred to as Daybreak Lake, is an amenity for Daybreak residents and is not open to the public. Oquirrh Lake is currently owned and maintained by Daybreak Community Association (HOA), which means that it is considered private property. The trail system and parks around the lake, however, are open to the public.

The Watercourse is also a Daybreak resident amenity and is not open to the public. The Watercourse is still under construction and not available for watercraft recreation during 2023. Portions of the trail system may be open, but please remember you are near an active construction site.

 

Are Oquirrh Lake and the Watercourse man-made?

Oquirrh Lake is a 67-acre lake located in the Lower Villages of Daybreak. The Watercourse is a mile-long meandering network of channels, cascades and ponds located in the Upper Villages of Daybreak. Both Daybreak amenities are man-made.

 

How do I borrow a canoe or sail boat?

Watercraft are available for Daybreak residents to check out during the summer. Just take your Daybreak ID card to The Beach Club at the intersection of Kestrel Rise Road and Daybreak Parkway. The Harbor Master will be happy to lend you a boat. (That’s right, you now live in a place that has a Harbor Master.) Watercrafts are not allowed on the Watercourse during 2023 as we are allowing the ecosystem time to adapt.

Are there any rules I need to know about the walking/biking trails?

Trails in Daybreak are designed specifically for pedestrians and bikers. Motorized vehicles are not allowed. Dogs, on the other hand, are not only allowed on the trails, they are welcomed.
