Things to do in the Gunnison Area

Palisade State Park

Golf Course
Palisade State Park is a great place to fish, canoe, and golf.  The 18-hole golf course has beautiful scenery and perhaps one of the best par 3 holes in the state.  Here’s a golf hint; all of the greens, no matter how they appear, slope toward the lake.  All except one that is, and it’s up to you to figure out which one!  The Park is located about 10 miles northeast of Gunnison on Highway 89. 

Yuba State Park

Boating at Yuba
The Painted Rocks area of Yuba State Park is located about 16 miles directly north of the Gunnison Inn on Highway 28.  Yuba is a moderate size reservoir that specializes in boating, water sports, and fishing- especially if you like walleye!  There is a boat dock, restrooms, beaches, and campground.

Arapeen OHV Trail

12-Mile Canyon
The Arapeen ATV Trail is located on the Manti-LaSal National Forest.  The Trail ranges in altitude from 6,000 to over 10,000 feet above sea level.  You can access the 350 mile trail system by riding up 12 Mile Canyon.  This canyon is located east of the town of Mayfield and is about 12 miles from the Inn.

Fishing Spots

Palisade Lake
Yuba and Palisade State Parks are great places to fish.  Nine-Mile Reservoir, located about 6 miles northeast of the Inn on Highway 89, is also a great valley location to fish.  If you want to try a mountain lake there are dozens of fishing locations in the national forest. 

Blackhawk Arena

The Blackhawk Arena is located about 15 miles south of Gunnison on Highway 89.  The Arena host events such as rodeos, team roping and sorting, barrel racing, and horse shows.

So, where is Gunnison anyway?

  • Gunnison is located 120 miles (approximately 2 house from Salt lake City at the junction of highway 89 and 28.   
  • From Salt Lake City, travel on I-15 Southbound to Nephi.  Then take exit 222 and head South.  About 8 miles down the road is a town call Levan (navel spelled backwards).  At the intersection turn left and head south on Highway 28 for 30 miles until you reach Gunnison.
  • A longer but more scenic route is Highway 89.  Starting at Spanish Fork it’s two lanes and small towns all the way to Gunnison.  A great way to spend the afternoon, don’t you think?
