Description
Scofield is both a summer and winter recreation
delight. It is situated 7,600 feet above sea level in the Manti-LaSal
Mountains of the Wasatch Plateau. The 2,800-acre lake offers excellent
boating and year-round fishing. During winter months, the area serves as
a base for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing in spectacular
mountains surrounding the park.
Scofield State Park is off U.S. Highway 6, just 10
miles southwest on State Route 96. Three state-owned facilities are
available for recreationists. Mountain View, located six miles north of
Scofield, offers a 34-unit campground, modern rest rooms, hot showers,
fish cleaning and sanitary disposal stations, day-use area, rental boat
slips and boat launching ramp. Madsen Bay, located on the north end of
the reservoir, is a popular area for groups and family reunions.
Facilities include a 40-unit campground, modern rest rooms, fish
cleaning and sanitary disposal stations, boat ramp and parking. Lakeside
day-use area offers modern rest rooms, group-use pavilion and a fishing
platform for the disabled.
