State Parks & Reservoirs

Park City Area State Parks - Something for Everyone

Enjoy the amazing natural beauty that envelops you on every side when you visit one of the area's many state parks. It's a blanket of serenity tucked 5,000-plus feet high away from the rest of the world. Hiking and mountain biking, becoming one with nature at one of our many campgrounds, sunbathing on a rock, or fishing until the sun goes down are all activities you can do right here in Utah. From jet skiing to the best fishing around, our lakes and state parks have it all. Even the natural shorelines create the perfect spot for an afternoon picnic, camping, and sand castles.
