Red Fleet State Park is a state park and public recreation area that features a 750-acre reservoir and a fossil trackway of dinosaur footprints. Located 10 miles north of Vernal, Red Fleet State Park is surrounded by red slick rock formations and was named after three large Navajo sandstone outcrops that jut up from the reservoir and look like a fleet of ships. Resting at an elevation of 5,500 feet, the park boasts some interesting fauna and flora, including various cacti, juniper, and sagebrush, along with bobcat, coyote, badgers, and several species of raptors such as the golden eagle. Year-round park facilities include a sandy beach, a boat launching ramp, and fish cleaning stations, picnic areas, campsites, and restrooms.
