Utah State Parks: Resting on cliffs of the Sevier Plateau at an elevation of 5,900 feet, Piute Reservoir attracts anglers who enjoy trophy fishing for rainbow, cutthroat, and brown trout as well as smallmouth bass. This primitive park is a quiet getaway and a well-kept secret. It is nestled in the heart of ATV country and the expansive Paiute Trail System can be accessed from the park. Piute is also a great lake for water sports, including waterskiing, jetskiing and wakeboarding. The park offers camping and picnicking on the beach. There are no reservations or culinary water available at Piute. Camping is primitive and first come, first served. Located in the Sevier River valley, Piute is on the east side of the Tushar Mountains, Utah's third-highest mountain range. A scenic backway, open during the summer, climbs up to Eagle Point Resort
