About Escalante Petrified Forest State Park

Nature trails climb through a petrified forest above Wide Hollow Reservoir, built in 1954 to irrigate the town of Escalante and now stocked with rainbow trout and bluegill. Camp, swim or take a paddleboard out — and leave the petrified wood where it lies.
