Gunlock State Park, Nature reserve in Washington County, Utah.
The 548-acre park surrounds Gunlock Reservoir with red rock formations and offers multiple water activities in a desert environment.
The park bears the name of William Hamblin, a Mormon pioneer who settled in 1857 and earned recognition for his firearm repair abilities.
The park stands along the Old Spanish Trail, a major route between Santa Fe and Los Angeles used extensively from 1820 to 1849.
The park features five primitive campsites with fire rings and tables, requiring visitors to bring their own water supply.
When conditions permit, water cascades over red sandstone formations, creating seasonal waterfalls that flow into multiple connected pools.
