Echo State Park

Echo State Park spans 1,450 acres of water surface at 5,560 feet elevation, featuring a tree-filled marina and grassy areas for outdoor activities.

The Bureau of Reclamation constructed the dam and reservoir during the 1930s Great Depression to provide agricultural irrigation for the region.

Local residents from Coalville managed recreation concessions at the reservoir since the 1960s, establishing a connection between the community and the water resource.

The park requires a day-use fee of 20 dollars, with camping sites available for reservation from May through September at 30 dollars per night.

Rangers monitor water vessels through a certification system that includes specific drying periods to prevent the spread of invasive species between water bodies.
