Nestled a midst the majestic Wasatch Mountains of northeastern Utah, East Canyon State Park beckons nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. This hidden gem is not only a haven for boating, fishing, and camping but also an intriguing repository of Western American history. Explore the adjacent Mormon Pioneer Trail, a historic route trodden by a myriad of intrepid pioneers, including the Donner/Reed party, Mormon Pioneers, Pony Express riders, and travelers journeying from California to Oregon.
Location: Located within the Wasatch Front, East Canyon is home to a diverse range of wildlife such as mule deer, elk, bobcats, red foxes, porcupines, grebes and bald eagles. Visitors will be enveloped by breathtaking views of the ancient volcanic formations that surround the park, native plant species and the incredible East Canyon Reservoir that reaches depths of nearly 200 feet.
Recreation: Visitors may enjoy a variety of recreational opportunities depending on the season. When the reservoir ices over in the winter visitors can enjoy activities such as ice fishing and skiing. During the Spring season to early winter season when the reservoir is not frozen, visitors enjoy various water sports, fishing, boating and swimming. East Canyon State Park provides boat and personal watercraft rentals for a day on the water. Please call 801-829-6866 or visit the park for reservations.
Nearby: The scenic automobile route of the Mormon Pioneer National Historic Trail just east of the park on Utah Highway 65. Markers are located along the highway at East Canyon State Park and the summit of Big Mountain that provides information. On the south end of the park a 4.3-mile hiking portion of the trail begins at Mormon Flat and ends at the summit.
