The Utah Division of Parks and Recreation has announced the implementation of an online prepay day-use system to deal with fee payment during the COVID-19 pandemic. The prepay option allows visitors to pay their park day-use fee online prior to visiting the state park.
Per Gov. Gary R. Herbert’s “Stay Safe, Stay Home” directive, state parks remain open only to visitors residing in the same county where the state park is located. Those purchasing a prepaid day-use pass online will also be asked to verify they are residents of the county where the state park is located.
Having the ability to prepay allows visitors to limit their interaction with park staff at entrance gates. Each state park has links to their online pre-pay option posted on their individual park webpages at stateparks.utah.gov. After purchasing the day-pass, visitors can either print their receipt or show a digital copy to gate staff at the state park in order to gain entry.
State park personnel encourage everyone visiting state parks to practice responsible recreation, meaning separating oneself and honoring the social distance of others, avoiding crowded trailheads and areas and keeping parks and facilities clean.
