Millsite

State Park

Camp in the quiet campground, boat and fish on the clear blue waters of the reservoir, explore the trails on two/four wheels, or try your swing on the nearby golf course.  

Millsite State Park is a secluded 435-acre lake at the mouth of scenic Ferron Canyon. This Utah State Park reservoir is a popular fishery and offers rainbow and cutthroat trout. An 18-hole public golf course wraps around the eastern edge of the reservoir. One famous hole is adjacent to a waterfall which channels outflow from the reservoir. Nestled at the base of the sandstone cliffs, this park is striking and extremely popular all year round.

Those looking for an easy hike can walk the trails around the reservoir and take in the beautiful scenery. For OHV/UHV riding, a dirt road leads riders to the Arapeen Trail System, making it a great starting point for exploring.
