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.
Park Information. The
park elevation is 7,600 ft and is open May-November, with
