Tucked away in the heart of Cache Valley, something extraordinary is taking shape — and soon, the secret will be out.
Welcome to Willow Lakes, a brand-new private lakefront community on the Logan River that's quickly becoming one of Utah's most intriguing residential and vacation destinations. Designed for those who crave resort-style living without giving up the comfort of home, Willow Lakes offers a rare chance to own a piece of paradise just north of Salt Lake City.
A lake in Logan may sound a little strange at first, but the novelty is the point. For more than seven years, the developers behind Willow Lakes have been working quietly and deliberately on a vision many thought was impossible. They created the largest private lake in northern Utah, designed specifically for all wake sports, tubing and waterskiing. They even included a deep wave surf machine, for year-round recreation and relaxation.
And now that vision is coming to life.
The lakes are officially starting to fill and lots are selling quickly. If you've ever dreamed of owning waterfront property in Utah — but want to skip the crowds and high-traffic tourist spots — here's why you should explore Willow Lakes.
Not just a place to live, but a lifestyle
One of the most exciting things about Willow Lakes is how intentional everything has been, from the layout of the homes to the community amenities. At the center of it all will be a 30,000-square-foot clubhouse, which will offer:
- Full fitness facilities.
- Massage and spa services.
- Sauna and red light therapy.
- Golf simulator.
- Swimming pool and hot tubs.
- Pickleball and beach volleyball courts.
- Lounge and event areas.
- Deep wave surf simulator.
With so many options at your disposal, you can be as active or relaxed as you want.
Beyond the clubhouse, there's plenty to enjoy all around you, including over a mile of soft, white sandy beaches and 2.5 miles of private riverfront. It has "luxury vacation" written all over it — only here, it could be your life every day.
A primary residence, vacation home — or both
Willow Lakes is the kind of community that fits whatever lifestyle you're after. Some residents are local to Cache Valley and looking to elevate their everyday living. Others are coming from the Salt Lake area or out of state, hoping to create a peaceful retreat they can escape to whenever they choose.
It might be your go-to spot for summer getaways and family reunions, or your future retirement home and a welcome escape from the Wasatch Front heat. Whatever your plans, that flexibility is part of what makes Willow Lakes so appealing.
Logan is gaining national attention
Speaking of reasons to buy property here, Logan just added a major bragging right. WorldAtlas recently named it one of the 10 Best Resort Towns in America, placing it alongside destinations like Vail, Colorado, and Palm Springs, California.
Among its many perks, Logan is just 90 minutes north of Salt Lake City. It's surrounded by beautiful mountains and offers easy access to both Bear Lake and the Great Salt Lake's Bear River Bay. The area's slightly higher humidity — which is unusual for Utah — helps create lush greenery and endless opportunities for outdoor recreation. It is also centrally located to 14 world-class ski resorts.
Logan is also home to Utah State University, a strong health care system and a low cost of living with almost no unemployment. Add in its rich cultural and religious heritage, including landmarks like the Logan Utah Temple and it's easy to see why people are falling in love with this small mountain city — and why Willow Lakes is right at the center of it all.
Why now is the time to act
With the lake starting to fill and construction moving fast, things are picking up quickly — and so is demand. Three areas — phases 1, 2 and 3 — are currently available, but nearly sold out. Plus, once the lake is full and the amenities are finished, you can expect prices to rise. Right now, Willow Lakes is offering special pre-lake-fill pricing, which gives you a rare opportunity to get in early and claim a premium lot while they're still available.
It's not every day a private surf lake opens in Utah. And it's definitely not every day you can build your dream home on it.
