Ice Fishing & Winter Sports When the ice is solid Huntington Reservoir is open for ice fishing. Anglers pull rainbow and brown trout, large mouth bass and bluegill fish out of the lake. Just a few minutes away are the Manti-LaSal Mountains and many winter sports. Though the park is open in the winter, facilities are not.
Bird Watching In the winter bald eagles, golden eagles, ducks and geese grace the Huntington Reservoir. Bird watchers come to sit on the bank and watch these birds in their habitat.
Nearby ATV sports Off-highway vehicles are not allowed to unload in the park. However it is the perfect base for ATVing. A 10-minute drive west takes you to an outstanding mountain riding area. The Arapeen Trail can be accessed by trailering your ATVs less than 20 minutes from the park. A 15-minute drive east puts you on the edge of the San Rafael Swell for superb desert riding.
