Red Fleet Reservoir State Park
Red Fleet Reservoir State Park
Hike to 200-million-year-old dinosaur tracks, boat and fish on Red Fleet Reservoir, and camp or picnic in a campground overlooking a sandstone and desert landscape. Anglers fish for large-mouth bass, bluegill, rainbow trout, and brown trout. In the heart of Dinosaurland, Red Fleet is a destination in itself and great location for discovery of the area.
Rockport Reservoir State Park
Rockport Reservoir features first-rate, year-round fishing, waterskiing, swimming, sailboarding and sailboating. It is 45 miles east of Salt Lake City near Wanship on State Route 32. Eight campgrounds offer both developed and primitive camping in a variety of settings. Ice fishing is popular in the winter.
Sand Hollow Reservoir State Park
With its warm, blue waters and red sandstone landscape, Utah's newest state park is also one of its most popular. Boat and fish on Sand Hollow Reservoir, explore and ride the dunes of Sand Mountain on an off-highway vehicle, then RV or tent camp in the new campground. The sprawling 20,000-acre park, which rests mostly on USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land, rivals Utah's two largest state parks - Wasatch Mountain and Antelope Island.
Scofield Reservoir State Park
Scofield is both a summer and winter recreation delight. It is situated 7,600 feet above sea level in the Manti-LaSal Mountains of the Wasatch Plateau. The 2,800-acre lake offers excellent boating and year-round fishing. During winter months, the area serves as a base for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in spectacular mountains surrounding the park.
Snow Canyon State Park
Snow Canyon State Park is a 7,400-acre scenic park quietly tucked amid lava flows and soaring sandstone cliffs in a strikingly colorful and fragile desert environment. Majestic views and the subtle interplay of light, shadow, and color dancing across canyon walls evoke strong emotional responses from visitors.
Starvation Reservoir State Park
The sprawling waters of Starvation Reservoir offer great fishing and boating. Find a secluded campsite at one of four primitive campgrounds and one developed campground. Anglers can fish for walleye and trout. Bring your off-highway vehicle and ride on nearby trails. A 54 unit campground, sandy beach, modern rest rooms, showers, group-use area, and fish cleaning and sewage disposal stations are available.
Steinaker Reservoir State Park
Sandy beaches, swimming, boating and waterskiing top the list of activities at Steinaker. Year-round fishing is for rainbow trout and largemouth bass.

A boat launching ramp, modern rest rooms, sewage disposal station, 31 individual campsites and two group-use pavilions are available.
Territorial Statehouse State Park
Utah's oldest existing governmental building is the Territorial Statehouse in Fillmore. In anticipation of Utah's statehood, Brigham Young directed construction of the building as the state's capitol. Only the south wing was ever completed. The existing portion was finished in time for the December 1855 meeting of the territorial legislature, which was the only full session held in the old statehouse.
This Is The Place State Park
This Is The Place Heritage Park is home to Old Deseret Village, a living history museum where you can discover what life was like in mid-1800s Utah. It's a living community that has been painstakingly recreated to represent Utah's past. All of its historic buildings are carefully restored or recreated homes, stores, churches and other structures essential to a bustling pioneer community. The village is filled with actual citizens - more than 150 cast members who demonstrate everyday pioneer life by making you a part of it.
Utah Field House Of Natural History & State Park
The Uinta Fossil Journey begins in the museum rotunda, where its sentry - the giant Diplodocus skeleton, 90 feet from tip to tail – looms about and greets visitors. A short film, Uinta Fossil Journey - Stories in Stone, takes visitors into the canyons along the drive to Vernal, and shows a day in the field at two fossil digs, one for the Jurassic period and another for the Eocene. The landscape comes alive with stories of past life.
Utah Lake State Park
Utah Lake is unique in that it is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the West and yet it lies in an arid area that receives only about 15 inches of rainfall a year. The mouth of the Provo River, where it empties into Utah Lake, was undoubtedly a very popular camping place for the early inhabitants of Utah Valley. At Utah Lake you can fish year-round for channel catfish, walleye, white bass, black bass and several different species of panfish.
Utahraptor State Park
Utahraptor State Park is currently in the planning phases for major construction and amenities improvements. All areas of this park remain in an extremely primitive state. Please check back with us at a later date for updates on our improvements. While it is still in the planning process, future park visitors to the area can expect one modern campground, restrooms, office and entrance station, and trailheads for access to the nearby OHV and mountain bike trail systems.
Wasatch Mountain State Park
Wasatch Mountain State Park, in beautiful Heber Valley, is Utah's most developed state park. Tucked away in the beautiful Wasatch Mountains, the park is both a summer and winter wonderland. One of Utah's finest 36-hole golf courses is found here. Wasatch Mountain State Park is a nearly 22,000-acre preserve, which was set aside by the state in 1961.
Willard Bay State Park
Willard Bay is a freshwater reservoir located 12 miles northwest of Ogden on the flood plains of the Great Salt Lake. An earth filled dike and natural shoreline make up the 20-mile enclosures. The dike is officially named the Arthur V. Watkins Dam, for a former U.S. Senator from Utah who was essential in getting the Weber Basin Project passed through congress in 1949. The area had a need for a reservoir to store surplus water from the Ogden and Weber rivers that could later be pumped out and used on farmlands.
Yuba Lake State Park
Warm water and sandy beaches lure visitors to Yuba from April through November for boating, swimming, water skiing, picnicking and year-round fishing. Fishing is for walleye and yellow perch. Yuba State Park is 30 miles south of Nephi, just off Interstate 15. Facilities include a 27-unit campground, modern rest rooms, hot showers, drinking water, sewage disposal station, group-use pavilion and boat launching ramp.
