    Fishing
    Michelle N.

    We came here to fish during a weekday around noon. The entrance fee is $15/vehicle or $4/person unless you have a State Park Pass. The lake probably had around 3 other groups scattered about fishing, which wasn't too bad. There were a lot of people just taking walks and biking around the park too. The parking lot was rather empty despite the park being so vast. We went to fish at the lake to the left on the rocks and didn't get to explore much else besides this part. There is also a red spigot here with some shaded areas so you can wash your hands or take breaks from fishing. There are a lot of mosquitoes around the lake and it does get hot so bring bug spray, sun screen (always reapply), and water!!! Especially if you are staying for a while, which is always the case if you're fishing! Within 2-3 hours everybody in my party caught at least 5 fish. With some catching 10+. There were periods of times when the waters were more stagnant and nobody around us caught any fish but then when people start catching fish, everybody seems to be catching fish all around. It's always so fun hearing how happy people are around us when they manage to reel something in. There are also snakes and spiders in this area so if you're afraid of snakes and spiders, maybe stay away or be more careful of surroundings. During our fishing period, we saw over two snakes. Overall, pretty fun place to fish! Just remember to protect yourself from the sun and the bugs!

    Huge lake with awesome views. We went for a long walk in between all these big meals that happen during Christmas. Magnificent landscape, especially with Timpanogos as background. The water was frozen and it was nice and chilly to see the goose and birds and ducks hanging in there, barely moving. Very poetic and solitary. It was nice to read about some species of fish that are unique of this area and you can only find one of them only in this lake, that was prior in almost extinction (Is always nice to read what others have post for us visitors to know more about the surrounding ecosystem, right?). Worth a visit, not sure if for camping, but for fishing, I saw some people at least trying to get something out of the frozen waters.

    Beautiful spot to camp in regards to being located in the mountains. Sunset was beautiful. The spot was not the best for tent camping as ground was not flat. No shade. Looks like a good spot for RVs and pop ups. Sprinklers turned on at 10pm and went to 11pm. No warning of these at check in and we got wet in the tent as windows were open due to it being warm out. Clean showers and bathrooms. Very pricey for a camp spot $30

    We came here after spending 3 nights at Bear Lake. We were disappointed to see trash, old dirty socks and shoes laying around and green mossy, duck poop everywhere on the shores. Someone left old tire rims on the rocks in and by the water. There was none of that at Bear Lake East Beach where we camped. The scenery was pretty at Utah State Beach but there were black ants and knats where we sat too. We had to move to get away from them. Okay but not my favorite lake to hang out.

    The Utah Lake commission has made big strides to increase awareness of the lake. This state park is a nice, large park to visit. There are plenty of picnic tables, some camping spots, docs, and places to explore. The "sandy beach" is so-so. There are a lot of weeds in it and the sand is a bit rough. There are places to rent paddle boards and such.

    Beautiful area. I was here in October on a rainy night, so no bugs bothered me. Water and electric hookups for $25. Each site also has a shelter, picnic table and grill. Otherwise there are no substantial trees for shade in the campground area itself. Push button showers. The one I used had a really harsh almost painful jetstream of water. The ADA shower stall seemed to have a more reasonable shower head. Clean restrooms. Many boat ramps and piers.

    What a wonderful hidden gem, if I knew earlier about this place I would have come here every week for a picnic. I had so much fun.

If you want to come and take a breather and let some steam out, this is the place. There is a five-mile hike if you want to bike, skateboard, walk or run. The hike is amazing. Beautiful scenery. As we were walking we found this really awesome cave! Too scared to go inside though. As you are walking there is a nice creek on the side and picnic benches. Nice spot to chillax. There are bathrooms and also a playground for the kids. They have this cool train you can play on as well. The only thing I didn't see is a fire pit or grill to BBQ. There are a few other spots nearby that have these if you want.

From the moment you arrive, the staff makes you feel completely welcomed. They're friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their horses and the beautiful area they work in. The seasonal horseback rides are incredible. Early in the season, you ride through the charming town of Midway, surrounded by snowy fields and mountain views that look like a Christmas postcard. Later in the season, the rides move up to Soldier Hollow, where the scenery becomes even more breathtaking -- open meadows, Olympic-era trails, and the Wasatch Mountains glowing in the winter light. The horses are gentle, well-trained, and perfect for beginners and experienced riders alike. But the true holiday magic comes from their draft horse wagon rides. Being pulled by beautiful Percheron and Belgian horses through thousands of sparkling Christmas lights at the Wasatch Mountain Golf Course is absolutely enchanting. The sleigh bells, the crisp winter air, the glow of the lights -- it feels straight out of a movie. Rocky Mountain Outfitters is a must-do winter tradition. Five stars without hesitation!

There's rains which makes it worse. It's my first time horseback riding and don't feel safe going out in the mud. This company makes thousands a day and won't refund $250 the person was so rude. Worse business ethics. Very greedy people.
