Wasatch Mountain State Park

A Year-Round Alpine Retreat

Wasatch Mountain State Park is located in the scenic Heber Valley just 24 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. It offers a diverse array of year-round recreational opportunities.

Established in 1961, this sprawling 21,592-acre park is generally considered to be Utah's most developed state park. It provides visitors with a picture-perfect blend of natural beauty and modern amenities.​

Summer Adventures

During the warmer months, Wasatch Mountain State Park transforms into a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The park boasts over 70 miles of trails suitable for hiking, mountain biking, ecycling and horseback riding.

It allows visitors to explore the lush forests and alpine meadows of the Midway side of the Heber Valley. For those interested in off-highway vehicle (OHV) thrills, designated trails provide exhilarating rides through the rugged terrain.​

Nearby Soldier Hollow is at the southern end of the Park. You can hike, bike, ski or snowshoe the 16-mile (26 km) 2002 Olympic Winter Games course. Olympic-style, world-class events have been held here in past years.

Like to Golf?

Wasatch Mountain offers two of the best public courses in Utah. Golfers can enjoy two of Utah's premier public golf courses as part of the park - the Wasatch Mountain Golf Course and the Soldier Hollow Golf Course.

The Wasatch Mountain Golf Course features the Mountain and Lake Courses. Each provides unique challenges and breathtaking views. These courses have been named by Golf Digest as one of the “Best Places to Play” in the past.

The 18-hole Mountain Course was designed to utilize the natural mountain backdrop. Don’t be surprised if you see a variety of wildlife wandering out onto the course. Deer. Elk. Moose. Even wild turkeys. The views of the fantastic Heber Valley below will test your concentration.

The 18-hole Lake Course takes advantage of the lower more sloping terrain. Enjoy tree-lined fairways and eight ponds. Another beautiful setting makes this course suitable for golfers of any skill level. I’ve played this course and there’s no more dynamic a backdrop anywhere that I’ve experienced.

Soldier Hollow, a legacy of the 2002 Winter Olympics, provides two 18-hole courses also … Gold and Silver. They are also set against the stunning backdrop of the Wasatch Mountains.

Winter Wonderland

When snow blankets the landscape, Wasatch Mountain State Park transforms into a winter playground. Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are popular activities with groomed trails available at Soldier Hollow.

We’ve snowshoed the deep snow on the upper Mountain Golf Course on a cold, clear, crisp, sunny mid-winter day. It’s a quiet and peaceful setting when blanketed with several feet of powder.

The park provides opportunities for snowmobiling also with access to extensive trail systems that wind through the mountains. For a family-friendly experience, the Soldier Hollow tubing hill provides white-knuckle rides down well-maintained lanes.​
