About Millsite State Park

Millsite State Park sits at the mouth of Ferron Canyon, where a 435-acre reservoir meets desert canyon walls at 6,214 feet. The 20-site campground anchors the reservoir's southern shore, offering access to fishing, boating, and water sports. Sites run $20-35 per night with showers, potable water, and a dump station.

The campground features 20 individual sites but lacks designated group camping areas. Campers interested in group reservations may contact the park directly to rent the entire campground.

Historical Significance

An old dam once powered a flour mill here, grinding grain for early settlers and giving the reservoir its name. The Ferron Watershed Project completed the modern reservoir in 1970, transforming the natural canyon into a recreational lake.

Weather and SeasonsSummer brings the best conditions for the reservoir. Daytime highs hit 80-95°F, with nights cooling to the 50s-60s thanks to the elevation. Long daylight hours and warm water make it ideal for boating, paddleboarding, and fishing for trout and bass. Afternoon thunderstorms roll through occasionally. Expect higher weekend crowds in July and August. Spring and fall offer moderate temperatures, while winter sees light snow and clear, cold days.

ElevationPerched at the perfect elevation where desert meets mountain, Millsite State Park occupies that sweet spot in Ferron Canyon where the air is crisp but not thin, and summer heat is tempered by mountain breezes. This moderate elevation creates an ideal climate for camping, offering relief from the lower desert's intensity while remaining accessible year-round.

Natural Features and SceneryThe reservoir fills Ferron Canyon, surrounded by layers of sedimentary rock that record millions of years of ancient seabeds and windswept dunes. Red rock canyon walls rise above the water, while medium tree coverage along the shore provides shade. The terrain shifts from expansive desert vistas to towering canyon geology, creating a landscape where water meets stone. Cottonwoods and willows cluster near the shoreline.

Geological RegionMillsite State Park showcases the dramatic geology of Utah's Colorado Plateau, where ancient forces carved Ferron Canyon through layers of sedimentary rock. The 1970 completion of the Ferron Watershed Project transformed this natural corridor into a stunning reservoir, creating a unique ecosystem where water meets stone. The surrounding landscape tells a million-year story written in rock—from ancient seabeds to windswept dunes now frozen in sandstone. This remarkable setting combines the rugged beauty of desert mountains with the life-giving presence of water, creating a geological wonderland that captivates visitors with its varied terrain of medium tree coverage, expansive desert vistas, and towering canyon walls.

Scenic ViewsPanoramic views include the reservoir, mountainous terrain, and desert landscapes, creating a serene and picturesque environment.

Skip if
