Things to Do

Willard Bay State Park

Willard Peak Pond

Want a wakeless day on the water? Head to Willard Peak Pond!

The pond day-use area does not allow motorized crafts of any kind, making it a great spot for swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking. It is even deep enough at one end to certify scuba divers, so be sure to wear your life jacket. Visitors can claim a relaxing spot on the sandy beaches where you can soak up the vitamin D to your heart’s content.

The new pond day-use area also has ample paved parking (400 spots), convenient restrooms and outdoor showers.
