Why Go
Lost Creek is what most Utah reservoirs looked like before the marinas showed up. The legislature made it a state park in 2021 with HB 257, and the amenities still amount to vault toilets, a boat ramp and a primitive campground. It runs wakeless, so the water stays flat and the fishing does not get chopped up by ski boats. It sits about ten miles northeast of Croydon in Morgan County, with no modern facilities out there, so bring everything you need.

- Why visit Lost Creek State Park?
