Wasatch Mountain State Park is a sprawling 23,000 acre preserve located around Midway, Utah. The acreage was set aside by the state in 1961 and was opened in 1968 as a state park. Today the land can be enjoyed by all kinds of recreational and outdoor enthusiasts.

Wasatch Mountain State Park offers an array of hiking and mountain biking trails including everything from easy, family friendly trail to challenging mountainous terrain. Off road enthusiasts and ATVers will also find a variety of roads to explore.

A nice visitor center is located centrally within the park. Behind the visitor center you’ll find a small pond with fishing dock, some picnic areas and a playground. One of the park’s four popular golf courses is also located here.

There is ample space for camping with Wasatch Mountain State Park. The main campground offers three different loops and there are a total of 122 camping/picnicking areas.
