Utah Lake State Park

Current Conditions and Webcam

Last Updated: July 1, 2024

NOTICE: Utah Lake State Park is currently under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions. No open fires are allowed except within established campfire facilities in our improved campgrounds and picnic areas. Visit Utah Fire Info’s website for more information on these restrictions. #FireSense makes sense

NOTICE: There will be an algaecide treatment going on in the Marina on August 22. This should not cause any disruption to normal park activities.

Temporary Closures:

  • The South jetty has a lot of potholes and ruts that keep getting worse with each vehicle that goes over them. They will be fixed as soon as water levels recede enough that we are confident that the new road will not be washed away due to high water. The South Jetty remains open for foot traffic.
  • The Center Lawn area is currently closed as some new facilities are added to the park.
