A Utah County woman is recounting an intense experience after getting stuck in waist-deep mud in Utah Lake for two hours.
The woman is now sharing a message of caution for others who go out on the lake.
A little dirt road off I-15 leads out to a nondescript gravel boat ramp called Mill Race Boat Ramp on Provo Bay. Despite the low-key look, "it is a very popular spot here," said Sgt. Spencer Cannon with the Utah County Sheriff's Office.
People launch their boats to fish, or hunt for duck or geese. Cannon explained the channel from the gravel boat ramp out to Provo Bay is narrow and deceivingly shallow.
"From here it looks like, 'Oh, yeah, it's easy, just follow this out there,'" Cannon explained. "But when you get out there, the main channel is hard to know exactly where it is."
