Goosenecks State Park is located near the southern border of the state. Found at an elevation of 4,500 feet, the park overlooks a deeply incised meander of the San Juan River.

This meander was created millions of years ago when the river cut meanders that are more than 1,000 feet (300 meters) deep while, at the same time, the surrounding terrain slowly began to rise.

Activities at the park include camping, photography, picnicking, and sightseeing. There are no biking or hiking trails in the park. Goosenecks State Park became a Utah state park in 1962.
