The American Fork River, in Utah, flows out of American Fork Canyon in the Wasatch Mountains about 35 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. The headwaters are loctated on Mount Timpanogos. It continues down through American Fork Canyon. On the way they pass through the Uinta National Forest and Timpanogos Cave National Monument. Exiting the canyon, the river runs a course through northern Utah County and empties into Utah Lake on the north shore.
