YUBA STATE PARK 13

Located partly in Sanpete County and partly in Juab County, Yuba State Park offers many recreational opportunities centered on the large Yuba Reservoir. Originally built to store water from the Sevier River for agriculture and industrial uses, the reservoir has become very popular for boating, camping, fishing and more.

The reservoir’s water is typically warm in the summer, making it an enjoyable destination for boating, waterskiing, windsurfing, sailing and swimming. There are two boat ramps, allowing access for all types of watercraft. Anglers can also enjoy fishing for walleye, perch, catfish, rainbow trout and northern pike. There are multiple trails in the area for ATV, motorcycle and 4x4 enthusiasts.

Multiple campgrounds are available in the park; some are developed while others provide a more primitive camping experience. Other activities include hiking, bird watching, rock hounding, mountain biking and waterfowl hunting in season.
