Known as Utah’s largest freshwater lake at roughly 148 sq. miles, Utah Lake camping provides a variety of recreation activities. Utah Lake State Park offers fishing access for channel catfish, walleye, white bass, black bass, and several species of panfish. With an average water temperature of 75 degrees, Utah Lake provides an excellent outlet for swimming, boating, and paddleboarding. The RV campground consists of 31 sites, complete with water and power hookups.
This place is definitely not for swimming :) The swimming beach is pretty bad, small, dirty. Water does not look attractive too and the killer on the party is Tons of Mosquitoes! They are crazy!
You have to pay 20$ entrance fee per car and there are “no returns because of bugs or weather”. The only positive thing I would say about park - it is probably good to launch and swim on boat. I saw many people with boats there, but DON’T go for swimming there. We went there on July 10, 2023
Nice park, went to see the Vermillion Flycatcher that was sighted in the area. Quite unusual for it to be this far north, especially in November so it was a treat for birders to see.
Don’t waste your time or money here. It smells like something rotting. It’s a quiet and serene location, but as soon as the sun started to set, millions (yes I mean millions) of mosquitoes came up in swarms! We couldn’t even be outside at all! The next morning they were covering absolutely everything. So glad to get out of there!
BEAUTIFUL AREA!!
But way too expensive for only an hour of fun. We were charged a $20 fee when all we wanted to do was take pictures. We didn’t fish. We didn’t hike. We didn’t boat. We didn’t swim.
I think it’s kind of ridiculous that the majestic creations of Mother Nature have been monopolized to the general public. The fees could definitely use some kind of a revamp.
But once inside, you’ll have plenty of things to do and there is lots of space to do it in. The view is incredible!! And the beachy areas are pretty nice. The water unfortunately, was pretty murky and smelly, and the bugs were plentiful.
✨If you spend a whole day there, it would be worth the cost!✨
This park was so quiet and peaceful. The lake gave us amazing fish to cook up and chow. Loved it here. Oh and a wonderful little bird called a Vermillion Flycatcher happen to make camp as well which drew plenty of birders for this special guy.
