Yuba State Park

Yuba State Park is a recreational area spread across roughly 15,940 acres with a large reservoir offering swimming, boating, and fishing opportunities. The landscape features a variety of shoreline sections and coves that provide different experiences depending on where visitors explore.

The area received its name from local farmers who built a dam in the 1960s, initially calling it U.B. Dam. The site later developed into a popular recreational destination serving communities across the region.

The reservoir serves as a gathering spot for Utah families and friends who come together for swimming and boating during warmer months. The water draws people seeking both relaxation and outdoor recreation in a social setting.

The park has multiple camping areas including Oasis, North Beach, Eagle View, and Painted Rocks, each with basic amenities for visitors. It's helpful to check conditions before arriving, as weather and water levels vary throughout the year.

The reservoir supports diverse fish populations including northern pike, tiger muskie, walleye, and yellow perch that draw anglers from surrounding areas. This mix of species makes it an appealing destination for people interested in different types of fishing experiences.
