About Utah Lake State Park

Utah Lake State Park sits on one of the largest freshwater lakes in the state. Visitors can fish for several species, including catfish, walleye and panfish, and the warm water suits swimming, boating and paddleboarding. The park has an RV campground with water and power hookups, a visitor center with local history and wildlife displays, and a marina. Group pavilions and a conference room can be reserved, and a disc golf course, playground and sand volleyball area are among the other amenities. Drones are not allowed because the park is close to the Provo airport.
