SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Ten stretches of rivers in Utah's national forests have been deemed as suitable to be included in the National Wild and Scenic River System.
The rivers are in five of Utah's national forests -- the Ashley, Dixie, Fishlake, Uinta and Wasatch-Cache.
Forest supervisors looked at 86 river segments in the state before narrowing the list to 10 and designating them as suitable for the national designation. Congress will decide which areas will be included in the national Scenic River System.
Dixie National Forest has the most areas in the state with four. The Ashley and Wasatch-Cache have two each on the list.
