It being shallow is one of the reasons it CAN be so dangerous. I've been at Bird Island when the water was glass. A breeze came up and created ripples, and within 10 minutes was full blown white caps. There are so many shallow spots with the ability to hide rocks in the low water visibility that can damage a boat. I have a healthy respect of that body of water and don't take chances when it comes to safety.
I am by no means saying that YOU are unsafe; I am only stating that Utah Lake has perils that the average person may not consider.
Thanks for sharing your insights. I'm pretty safety concious (as you can see by my life jacket in the last photo), but you can never be too safe!
