Palisade State Park, State park with reservoir in Sanpete County, US
Palisade State Park is a state park in Sanpete County, Utah, featuring a mountain reservoir and an 18-hole desert canyon golf course. The park provides fishing opportunities for rainbow and tiger trout along with water-based recreation and golf activities.
The park was established in 1962 by the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation to serve recreational needs of central Utah residents. Its creation reflected growing demand for outdoor recreation spaces in the region.
The place holds deep ties to the nearby Sterling community, where seasonal gatherings and outdoor activities shape how locals use the reservoir and golf grounds. These connections reflect the recreational rhythm of central Utah life.
The park provides 70 camping sites for tents and RVs up to 45 feet long with basic and full-hookup options available. Planning ahead is wise during peak seasons to secure a suitable campsite for your needs.
The park rents paddleboats, canoes, and kayaks for use on the water, while gas-powered boats are not permitted to maintain water quality. This rule keeps the surface quieter compared to many other lakes in the region.
