State Parks In Utah
What are some of the best state parks in Utah?
- Starvation State Park (Duchesne): Now called Fred Hayes State Park, Starvation is the name of the reservoir it surrounds. How the name Starvation came about has the stuff of legends and tales more interesting than this space allows to tell. Fred Hayes was director of the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation from 2012 until he died in 2018. One fun event of many recreational opportunities here includes the annual walleye fishing tournament, with winners catching fish weighing more than 10 pounds. With 3,500 acres of parkland, remote beaches, the blue reservoir, and numerous coves, this is a pretty place to spend a day.
- Piute State Park (Junction): Piute Reservoir is a great place to catch rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout, attracting anglers from all over. It's also perfect for other watersports, including jetskiing and wakeboarding. And it couldn't get any lovelier perched on the Sevier Plateau cliffs at a height of 5,900 feet. Plan a primitive camping trip or a picnic on the beach. And there are always opportunities for climbing here.
- Gunlock State Park (St. George): If you enjoy the beauty of cascading waterfalls, this is the park for you when the falls are flowing. Other fun includes fishing, boating, and swimming in the 266-acre Gunlock Reservoir. Pack a picnic and head to the beach for shelling and bird watching. The reservoir dam was constructed in 1970 for irrigation water and flood control and opened as a state park the same year.
