About Fred Hayes State Park at Starvation

Set around the Starvation Reservoir, this Utah state park spans roughly 3,500 acres of land with quiet beaches and coves. Visitors can fish, boat, camp at several primitive and developed campgrounds, ride off-highway vehicles on nearby trails, shoot at a 3D archery course, play disc golf, or go geocaching. An annual walleye tournament draws anglers hoping to land large fish. Supplies, groceries, and fuel are available in the town of Duchesne, and local businesses often close earlier than visitors expect.
