Location of the mouth of the Logan River in Utah

The Logan River is a 53.7-mile-long (86.4 km)[3] tributary of the Little Bear River in Utah, the United States. It is currently being studied to determine whether it is suitable for National Wild and Scenic Rivers designation.[4]

Course

The Logan River rises in the Bear River Mountains in Idaho and flows south, then southwest through Logan Canyon and the Wasatch-Cache National Forest to the city of Logan, Utah, in the Cache Valley. In this valley it joins the Little Bear River a few miles west of Logan and about 5 miles (8 km) south of where the Little Bear River joins the Bear River.

The river is dammed at 1st, 2nd, and 3rd dams at the mouth of Logan Canyon.
