Goosenecks State Park

Discover Utah's Hidden Gem!

Goosenecks State Park

Are you familiar with the view of Horseshoe Bend? Multiply that by three, picture fewer tourists, and you’ll get an idea of what awaits you at Goosenecks State Park. In this article, we will find out together how to visit one of the lesser-known places in this part of the United States (we’re talking about the state of Utah), but the lack of fame does not make it any less beautiful.

The state park offers spectacular views of the goosenecks, officially known as an entrenched meander. Over a distance of one and a half miles, the San Juan River flows for more than six miles through the twists of the entrenched meander.

Goosenecks State Park offers picnic areas, primitive camping, vault toilets, and an observation shelter. The views are outstanding and photography is popular. At night the sky is expansive - ideal for stargazing. Please note: No drinking water is available. There are no maintained trails. The park does not offer access to the river.
