101 THINGS TO DO

A small park exists at 200 N. Main in Spanish Fork that provides an opportunity for residents to honor and recognize their family members and friends. Appropriately titled Memorial Square, this park features areas where plaques honoring loved ones are displayed and benches where visitors can sit, reflect and enjoy a moment of peace. Those interested in honoring their own loved ones can purchase a plaque for the park through Spanish Fork City.

Head To The Beach 63

There’s a beach near Spanish Fork and Salem, and while it doesn’t offer a view of the ocean, it does provide a grand panorama of the Wasatch Front mountain range. Lincoln Beach is located on the shoreline of Utah Lake and is a prime site for camping, fishing and boating. There’s a concrete boat launch and a floating boat dock as well as a fish-cleaning station for taking care of your catch when you come back to shore. Drinking water, fire pits, barbecue grills, picnic areas and a restroom are available. Don’t have a boat? It’s a great place for swimming as well. A large pavilion is available for larger groups (make reservations online or call 801-851-8640). Lincoln Beach is located west of Spanish Fork at 4700 S. Lincoln Beach Road.
