East Canyon Creek is a 40.5-mile-long (65.2 km)[2] north by northwest-flowing stream that begins northwest of Kimball Junction in Summit County, Utah, on the east side of the summit of the Wasatch Range, and flows to its confluence with the Weber River in Morgan County, Utah. East Canyon Creek is one of four major tributaries of the Weber River, which in turn, flows to the Great Salt Lake.[3]
