About

Otter Creek State Park is a quiet, out-of-the-way destination in south central Utah, perfect for anglers, boaters, ATV enthusiasts, and birders. The park surrounds a 3,120-acre reservoir created in 1897 by one of Utah's oldest dam projects, built by local Mormon farmers who needed irrigation water. Today, the reservoir is a prime fishery offering year-round fishing and boating opportunities. The developed campground on the southern end of the reservoir features 52 standard sites with partial hookups (water and electric), accommodating both RVs and tents. Sites can handle RVs up to 45 feet with a mix of back-in and pull-through options. Eight beachfront sites provide waterfront camping access. Two cabins and a large group area that accommodates up to 100 people are also available. Modern amenities include restrooms with flush toilets and hot showers, a dump station, and drinking water. ATV riding is a major attraction at Otter Creek, with direct access to three ATV trails including the renowned Paiute ATV Trail System. The park also serves as an excellent base for hunters pursuing deer and elk in nearby mountains. During spring and fall migrations, many bird species pass through the park along the Pacific Migratory Bird Flyway, making it a popular birding destination. The park is conveniently located near Bryce Canyon National Park and other southern Utah attractions.
