Paddle through a shallow lagoon studded with hundreds of tiny rock islands in every shade of turquoise imaginable.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
Chalk Sound is a protected national park on Provo's southwest corner — a shallow, sheltered lagoon dotted with hundreds of tiny uninhabited limestone islets in water that shifts from jade to aquamarine to electric blue depending on the light. Kayak or SUP at your own pace, anchor off one of the tiny rocks, and snorkel the shallow grass beds below. Morning is best before the wind picks up.
What Stands Out
- Protected national park
- Hundreds of tiny limestone islets
- Water shifts jade to aquamarine to electric blue
- Best explored by kayak or SUP
- Snorkelling in the grass beds
- Morning best — calm and uncrowded
