Deer Lake is one of several natural high mountain lakes in the Swift Creek and Yellowstone River drainages dammed by the Farmers Irrigation Company in the and to store water for irrigation. The dam is a representative example of small-scale earth-fill construction in the Upalco Unit of the Central Utah Project.

Historical Information
On June 25, the National Forest Service issued a special use permit to the Farmers Irrigation Company for "constructing and maintaining a dam and storing water for irrigation purposes" on Deer Lake in the Swift Creek drainage. A small-approximately 8 acres-but relatively deep lake, Deer Lake was limited in littoral area because of its narrow confines between two ridges. The lake receives flows from both White Miller and Farmers lakes-two other Farmers Irrigation Company reservoirs~and now acts as a regulating reservoir. The 140-foot-long, 18-foot-high dam is an earth-fill structure, with stone riprap on both the sloped upstream and downstream faces. It is drained by a 30-inch diameter gated steel pipe outlet, with a small timber weir for an overflow spillway.
It is proposed that the dam be altered somewhat to return the lake to its natural level.
