About Utah Lake State Park

Spend an evening RV or tent camping, then powerboat, canoe, or sail the day away on Utah Lake. Food concessions available at DD Grill beginning Memorial Day weekend. Even better, Utah Lake State Park can become a base camp to Utah's Wasatch Front. Nearby Provo Canyon offers highly renowned, Blue Ribbon fishing alongside tubing, hiking, horseback riding, cycling, mountain biking and all the summer and winter activities on Sundance Mountain Resort -- not to mention the resort's incredible art scene and dining. The Utah Valley itself offers an array of excellent dining and cultural experiences, or continue up Provo Canyon to the Heber Valley. Make a reservation on the Utah State Parks reservation site
