Wasatch Mountain State Park, State park in Wasatch County, Utah, United States
Wasatch Mountain State Park is a state park in the Wasatch Mountains of northern Utah, set above the Heber Valley. The terrain covers conifer forests, open mountain meadows, and several ridges linked by a network of dirt roads and trails that run across different elevations.
The area entered the Utah State Parks system in 1961, making it one of the first dedicated recreation areas to receive official protection in the state. Over the following decades, roads, campgrounds, and facilities were added as the park grew into the multi-use destination it is today.
The park's name comes from the Wasatch Mountains, and its historic features tie it to Heber Valley farming life: the restored wooden Tate Barn, built in the 1890s, is a recognized landmark and symbol of the valley. Huber Grove preserves a roughly 100-year-old apple orchard with the Huber Farmhouse and Creamery.
The park has three sections with separate access routes. The main part, with the visitors' center, campgrounds and Wasatch Golf Course, is reached via Utah State Route 222 from Midway; Pine Canyon Road from Guardsman Pass is closed in winter and early spring. Soldier Hollow is reached via Tate Road from Charleston, then Stringtown Road. Dutch Hollow, the least visited area, is reached via Dutch Canyon Road.
The park is one of the few in Utah that operates golf courses within its boundaries, an unusual feature for a mountain nature area. These courses sit inside the mountain meadows, offering a playing experience quite different from a typical urban course.
