Wasatch Mountain State Park, from the Midway side.

The park's own listing gives 21,592 acres at about 5,900 feet, and the state describes the preserve it was drawn from as nearly twenty three thousand acres. It begins immediately northwest of Midway in Wasatch County and extends up into the mountains behind the town. Utah set the ground aside in 1961 and opened it to the public as a state park in 1968, and the park office number is 435-654-1791.

Day use has run ten dollars a car for up to eight people, and five dollars a car where the driver is sixty five or over. That fee is separate from a green fee, a campsite or a tubing session, so it is the charge people most often forget when they turn up to ride Dutch Hollow or drive Pine Canyon. Self pay envelopes at the trailheads want exact cash and something to write with.

Four eighteen hole courses across two complexes. Wasatch Mountain Golf Course at 975 West Golf Course Drive runs the Lake course, on gentler ground among ponds and tree lined fairways, and the Mountain course, which climbs into the terrain behind it. Soldier Hollow runs Gold and Silver, opened in July 2004 to a Gene Bates design and named for the medals, with Gold playing 7,598 yards from the back tees at par 72.

Almost everything. Pine Creek is the developed campground, 126 sites across the Cottonwood, Mahogany and Oak Hollow loops including four group sites and two cabins, with 55 full hookup sites, and it is open year round. Little Deer Creek is primitive: sixteen small tent and trail sites plus one group site capped at twenty five people, at about 7,230 feet against the national forest boundary, reached by dirt road, with no electricity and no showers.

At Pine Creek, yes. The main campground is open year round, which is worth knowing in a valley that takes roughly a hundred inches of snow in a season, and it puts you a few minutes from the Nordic trails and the tubing lanes at Soldier Hollow. Little Deer Creek is a summer and early autumn proposition only, because it sits at about 7,230 feet and is reached by an unpaved road that is not maintained for winter use.

Off River Road on the northeast side of Midway, at the Dutchman Hollow sign. The trailhead sits at 5,750 feet with the highest singletrack running near 6,800, and the system holds more than twenty miles of interconnected trail in segments of roughly one and a half to three miles. Named runs include Cottontail, Sage, Aqueduct, Boneyard, 1000 Turns, Enchanted Forest, The Barrel, Prospector and Phosphate, and the season runs early May to mid November.

It depends on the month and on Wasatch County, not on UDOT. Pine Canyon is a county road that climbs from the park above Midway to meet the Guardsman Pass road on the ridge, it is not plowed, and it closes with the snow every autumn. In 2026 the county opened it on 11 May. Because it is not a state route, state road condition pages do not report on it, so ask the county or the park rather than assuming.

The valley floor half of it. The Soldier Hollow Loop and the Chalet Loop stay open, and Soldier Hollow itself runs Nordic trails and tubing all season. Pine Canyon, Snake Creek, Tibble Fork, the Alpine Loop and Guardsman Pass all gate for the winter. Pine Creek campground stays open year round. That split is the practical shape of the park between November and May and it catches visitors who arrive with a summer map.

Two. Huber Grove holds the Huber farmhouse and creamery, from one of the Swiss families whose names run through this valley's settlement, and the historic Tate Barn is the other. Both sit inside the park boundary rather than in town, neither is signposted from the highway, and both are easy to drive straight past on the way to a tee time or a trailhead.
