Nature
Red Fleet State Park in northeastern Utah, about 10 miles north of Vernal, is centered on a 750-acre reservoir set in an arid landscape south of the Uinta Mountains. It is known for the contrast of open water, red rock scenery, and a dinosaur footprint trackway dating back about 200 million years. The park’s name comes from three large Navajo sandstone outcrops rising from the reservoir like a fleet of ships. Its reservoir was created by Red Fleet Dam, an earthfill structure completed in 1980, and the area now supports boating, camping, picnicking, and shoreline recreation in a setting that brings together geology, water engineering, and deep time.
