Goosenecks State Park

Goosenecks State Park offers one of the most unique landscape environments in North America. Viewers of photos of this place are sure to recognize it immediately, and visitors form memories they never forget.

Goosenecks

The main attraction, the San Juan River, winds through park in what geologists call entrenched meander. The park is named after the more popular name of goosenecks, recognizing the river's tight turns through the local landscape. Over time the river has carved a deep canyon, dropping an average of 1,000 feet from the stellar viewpoints available in the park. In just under two miles of park, the river flows for more than six miles of goosenecks.

Breathtaking views

Scenic vistas abound in the park, as the river and the deep canyons differ with every angle and hour of daylight. Erosion from the river offers views of a rock record dating back 300 million years in time. At night, the sky is as expansive as the canyons are dense. The remote location makes Goosenecks State Park ideal for stargazing, meaning awesome views are available around the clock.

Camping

The park is open year round without exclusion or entrance fees. Primitive camping sites exist on a first-come, first serve basis. Fire pits and vault toilets are available, but there is no water, electricity or dumping station.

With amazing views in canyons below or starry skies above, Goosenecks State Park offers a one of a kind visual experience for anyone. The park is located in southeast Utah along US 163, 25 miles west of the town of Bluff.
