You can fish year-round in
Utah. Hunting in Utah has
become a popular family activity, and hunting
tags are now sold by lottery. For information
about hunting and fishing, contact the Utah Division of Wildlife
Resources at (801) 538-4700. To find
the best hunting spots in Utah, go to Utah Outdoors.
 Utah has more golf courses per capita than
anywhere else in the USA! Thanks to Utah’s
diverse climate, you can golf every day of the
year. In northern Utah, you can golf starting in
early spring through late autumn. In the spring,
you can even ski in the morning, then play golf
in the valleys inthe afternoon! When it’s
snowy up north, go down south to Utah’s
"Dixie" and golf all winter!
 Utah is home to
"The Greatest Snow On Earth"; an
incredible 500 annual inches of dry powder snow;
and an infrastructure of 14 mountain resorts.

State Parks have camping, fishing, boating,
hiking, and other recreational activities.
 The best-known off-road
state park is Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park
near Kanab. The USDI Bureau of Land Management
and USDA Forest Service manage many
trails and areas throughout the state, which are
open to all-terrain vehicles. There are a few in the
Greater Ogden area. It is best to contact the
land manager of the area in which you would like
to ride, and contact that agency for their up-to-date
recreation map, which will show trailheads,
openings, and closures.
