This beautifully landscaped state park is 237 acres of boating, swimming and fishing fun. The park is located just outside Huntington on State Route 10 at the base of the Wasatch Plateau.

History of the Area
Huntington Reservoir was completed in 1966 as part of an Emery County irrigation and recreation project.

The name of both the town and reservoir honors the three Huntington brothers, Oliver, William, and Dimick, who first explored this area in 1855. Dimick was an interpreter for the local Indians; William was famed as a scout and explorer; and Oliver was an official recorder for the unsuccessful Elk Mountain Mission to Moab. The town of Huntington was founded in 1877.

Bicycling
Explore the scenic trails on two wheels, but be aware of potential hazards.

The park offers several biking routes suitable for all skill levels.

For beginners, there are easy paths with gentle slopes and minimal obstacles.

More experienced riders can tackle challenging tracks that feature steep inclines and rough terrains.

Remember to wear protective gear as some areas may have loose gravel or sharp turns which could cause accidents.

Always stay within marked boundaries; straying off-trail is not only dangerous but also prohibited by law.

Check weather conditions before setting out since rain can make pathways slippery and difficult to navigate safely.

Be mindful of wildlife in the area while cycling - keep a safe distance at all times.

Respect other trail users such as hikers or horseback riders - slow down when passing them.


Keep hydrated especially during summer months where temperatures can soar high causing heat exhaustion if unprepared.

Other birds include Western Grebe, Ring-billed Gull, California Gull, Northern Harrier and Red-tailed Hawk. The Osprey is also spotted frequently in this area along with Bald Eagles during winter months.
