East Basin is an unincorporated area and census-designated place (CDP) in Summit County, Utah, United States. It was first listed as a CDP prior to the 2020 census.[2]
It is in the southwest part of the county, bordered to the northwest by Silver Summit and to the southwest by Snyderville. It is 8 miles (13 km) northeast of Park City. Interstate 80 forms the northwest border of the CDP; the highway leads northeast 15 miles (24 km) to Coalville and west 26 miles (42 km) to Salt Lake City. U.S. Routes 40 and U.S. Route 189 turn south from I-80 at Silver Creek Junction along the northwest edge of the CDP; the U.S. highways lead south 16 miles (26 km) to Heber City.
East Basin is drained by Silver Creek, which flows north to the Weber River, carving a canyon followed by Interstate 80.
Different portions of the CDP are in the North Summit School District, the Park City School District, and the South Summit School District.[3] Park City High School is the Park City district's comprehensive high school.
