Escalante State Park features colorful deposits of petrified wood and dinosaur bones that decorate this unique park, which offers hiking, fishing, boating, camping, and panoramic vistas of the surrounding countryside.
There's wildlife to watch, trails to hike, and a 30-acre reservoir for boating, fishing, and somewhat chilly swimming. The park is open year-round, but spring through fall is the best time to visit. At the Visitor Center, view displays of plant and marine fossils, petrified wood and fossilized dinosaur bones over 100 million years old.
