Minersville Reservoir is a reservoir in Beaver County, Utah, United States.
Minersville Reservoir was created in 1914 by the construction of the Rocky Ford dam, an Embankment dam to impound water from the Beaver River which heads in the Tushar Mountains for use in agriculture.[1]
Minersville Reservoir is located 12miles west of Beaver, Utah and 6miles east of Minersville. The shoreline consists of some private land, but is mostly public BLM-administered land.[2]
