The East Jordan Canal is a historic waterway in Salt Lake County, Utah, United States.[1]

Description

The canal is owned by Salt Lake City Public Utilities.[2] The canal exits the Jordan River at Turner Dam, along with the Utah and Salt Lake Canal. An extension of the canal was proposed in 2012, involving a partnership between Salt Lake City Public Utilities and the city of Cottonwood Heights that would result in the construction of a multi-use trail on top of the canal as it passes through an existing urban neighborhood.
