The Lake Mountains[2] (also known as simply Lake Mountain) are a 15-mile-long (24 km)[3] mountain range located on the western edge of the Utah Valley in northwestern Utah County, Utah, United States. The range forms the northwest border of Utah Lake, and its proximity to major population centers allows its use for communication towers, mostly in its north section, bordering Eagle Mountain.
