About East Canyon State Park

East Canyon State Park sits in the mountains of northeastern Utah around a reservoir. Visitors come for water recreation such as boating, fishing, and kayaking, and for camping that ranges from tent sites to full RV hookups and cabins or yurts. The park holds International Dark Sky certification, which makes its night skies a draw. A nearby section of the Mormon Pioneer Trail adds a historical dimension to a visit.
