Lamb's Canyon, located between Salt Lake City and Summit Park is named after Abel Lamb, a cooper who built the first road into the canyon in 1850. He and his sons used the road to haul wood for making essential items like barrels, tubs, and washboards for the early settlers. The canyon has also seen use as a source of timber for building, a sawmill location, and a toll road. Today, Lamb's Canyon is a popular area for hiking, recreation, and enjoying the natural beauty surrounding Salt Lake City. Owners are offering 7 unimproved lots that they own-buy one or all-$30K each. What are building restrictions on the lots? Check with Salt Lake County on zoning and permitting. Drilling for water is restricted as it's a watershed area. Many cabin owners buy a cistern and have it filled periodically with potable water. Can you level the lots to build? It would have to be permitted, but probably not likely. The sellers put up a flat structure for a tent on one lot, but it was destroyed by winter snow. Will the road to the lots ever be paved? No, it's graded periodically but never paved or planned for paving. The area is only assessable by snowshoe in the winter. Sewer line available? Only septic if approved by the County. Is the buried electric lines along the main road accessible to the lots? Yes
