The sandy shores and pleasant waters of Yuba Reservoir beckon anglers, swimmers and kayakers alike.

Its central location makes it a great weekend destination for city dwellers, or a refreshing itinerary addition to any Southern Utah adventure.

Utah State Parks Travel Responsibly

How To Get Here

The best way to access Yuba State Park is through the main entrance and Oasis Campground located off County Road, a few miles from exit 202 on Interstate 15. Temple Road, a six-mile gravel road, connects County Road to S.R. 28 along the north end of Yuba Reservoir (heading south from here on S.R. 28 brings you to the Painted Rocks Campground and boat launch). Visitors towing boats may opt to avoid the gravel road by crossing through Levan instead.

Yuba State Park Weather

Located between Utah's southern red deserts and northern mountain ranges, Yuba State Park experiences more temperate weather than the rest of the state. Expect warm waters all summer and temperatures in the upper 90s from June through September. The reservoir freezes over in winter and snowfall is common from November through April.

Where to Stay

Things To Do

Fishing

Excellent trout, pike and perch fishing lures anglers to Yuba State Park year-round. Fish from shore, boat, or ice during the winter. A valid Utah Fishing License is required either way.

Water Sports

Both non-motorized and motorized watercrafts are allowed on Yuba Reservoir. Ride around on jet skis, enjoy a leisurely paddleboard or kayak, or cool off with a swim.

Zip Lining

See Yuba State Park from a bird’s eye view — an exciting new addition to Yuba State Park includes an 850 foot and 650 foot zipline, the first to ever be built inside a state park. Riders must meet certain age and weight requirements.
