Trivia time! Which part of Utah contains the densest black bear and largest elk population? The Manti-La Sal National Forest, of course! How about this one: where does most of the coal mined in Utah come from? Well, 85% of it is mined right here in the Manti-La Sal. This special forest is full of natural surprises, like lofty mountaintops, lush meadows, cavernous sandstone canyons, plus plenty of water. If it sounds like there’s a ton of diversity here, that’s because there truly is! All of this diversity means that there’s a lot to do out here. Near Moab, the forest is home to the La Sal Mountains with their tall peaks and narrow canyons. To the north, on the Wasatch Plateau, you’ll be yearning for your next road trip along the Huntington and Eccles Canyons National Scenic Byways (also called the Energy Loop). And when it comes time to hit the hay at night? You guessed it—there are plenty of campgrounds to choose from.

Scofield State Park

11. Scofield State Park

72 sites · Scofield, Utah
Once upon a time, the town of Scofield had over 6,000 residents. Once the mining boom slowed down, that number shrank to less than 100. But, this small town draws in huge visitor numbers, thanks to the Scofield Reservoir. You could be one of them! If you’d like to spend your outdoor getaway camping, fishing, hiking, and swimming, then come discover what Scofield has to offer. In the winter, this is also one of the best places around to ice fish for rainbow and cutthroat trout. Oh, but we almost forgot to mention the best part! Thanks to the park’s prime real estate up in the Manti-LaSal Mountains, the scenery is hard to beat. Take it all in at one of three day and overnight use spots.
