Rainbow Lake is another man-made lake created by damming. It was the result of a dam built on Walnut Creek by Mormon settlers in 1903.

Most of the shoreline of this lake is privately owned but there is a public access area with a boat ramp (boats are limited to electric motors or 10hp for gas). This lake is best suited for fishing.
