Lake Glacier was created in 1906 by the damming of Mill Creek at the "narrows" as it approached the Mahoning River. In 1924, Alice Baldwin Lewis donated 70 acres of land specifying that part of the land was to be used for creating a lake. Mill Creek meandered through this shallow valley making it a suitable site for a man-made lake.
In 1958, Elizabeth A. Fellows bequeathed the property to Mill Creek Park, together with funds to create a public garden on the site. She died in 1958 at the age of 96 in her home. In 1962, plans of how the garden would be designed came to fruition by Landscape Architect John L. Paolano.
According to estimates from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute of the University of Utah, [15] as of 2015, there were 60,119 people in Millcreek.

The lake was formed when a dam was made from glacial debris deposits. Water from the lake drains into Mill Creek [5] within the Mill Creek basin, which is a flat valley with a scenic meadow. [2] [10] Author Lisa Foster describes [7] the long glacial ridge [11] as "one of the most dramatic lateral moraines in the Rocky Mountain National Park". [7]
Millcreek Canyon (also Mill Creek Canyon) [1] (Shoshoni: Tempin-Tekkoappah, “rock trap”) [2] is a canyon in the Wasatch Mountains and part of Millcreek City on the east side of the Salt Lake Valley, Utah. It is a popular recreation area both in the summer and in the winter. [3]
It consists of an extensive outwash apron. It slopes to the southeast over an 8 miles (13 km) to 10 miles (16 km) distance, dropping from 775 feet (236 m) or 800 feet (240 m) to 700 feet (210 m) above sea level. It is a gravel plain, which is dissected by Crooked Creek and Mill Creek. [4]

Glacial ice that filled Mill Creek (whose canyon is mostly post-glacial), Blue Lake Canyon, Kings Creek Meadows, Flatiron Ridge, Warner Valley and the valley of Manzanita, Hat and Lost Creeks originated from there. Indeed, Lassen Peak appears to be sitting in the depression carved by the Lost Creek Glacier. [1]
