Yuba State Park, Recreational reservoir in Juab County, United States.
Yuba State Park is a recreational area in Juab and Sanpete counties in Utah, built around a large reservoir that offers swimming, boating, and fishing. The shoreline alternates between open stretches and sheltered coves, giving different feels depending on where you are.
The reservoir was created in the 1960s when local farmers built a dam, originally calling it U.B. Dam, a name that gradually shifted to Yuba. Over time, the site grew into a popular destination for communities across central Utah.
The reservoir is a gathering spot for Utah families who come together for swimming and boating during warmer months. The water draws people seeking outdoor recreation in a social setting.
The park has several camping areas, including Oasis, North Beach, Eagle View, and Painted Rocks, each with basic facilities. It is worth checking water levels and weather conditions before you arrive, as both can change considerably depending on the season.
The reservoir holds northern pike and tiger muskie alongside walleye and yellow perch, a mix of species that is unusual for this part of Utah. This combination draws anglers who want to try for several very different types of fish in a single outing.
