You are currently viewing Utah’s Beautiful Blue Canal That Is Going Viral Could Actually Be “Unsafe”

The following video featuring paddlers in a stunning blue canal in beautiful Utah is certainly eye-pleasing. But it’s worth doing a bit of research before just getting too excited and adding an activity to your bucket list.

It’s not like you need any more reasons to visit Utah anyway. It is arguably one of the most beautiful US States, with its 5 National Parks, beautiful mountains, and a unique “salt desert” (we’ve already shared a few posts about traveling to Utah).

It’s easy to see why it is so popular. It sure looks like an amazing spot, with the epic surroundings as well.

The bright blue canal is located in the Bonneville Salt Flats (#3 in our 15 pictures of Utah post), a unique spot that itself is worth the detour for a view of white salt like you’ve likely never seen before.

Especially with the lovely mountains in the background. Utah’s West Desert looks stunning.

And the blue canal too…but going kayaking there isn’t quite recommended.

    Someone should develop one of these canals for a kayaking experience and rent tours or something. It would be so cool
