Just up the road from Esquire Estates, Huntington is a small town surrounded by big scenery. Red rock desert in one direction, cool mountain forest in the other.
A few minutes from town, Huntington State Park is where locals head to fish, boat, or just hang out by the water. The reservoir sits right against the red rock hills, so even a quick stroll through the area offers incredible views and photo opportunities. It’s small, quiet, and easy to get to. We highly recommend checking it out while you’re here in the area.
If you drive east out of town, you’ll end up on one of the prettiest roads in central Utah. The Huntington Canyon Scenic Byway winds up through red rock and into pine forest, climbing up into cooler temps and to where the views stretch for miles. You’ll pass campgrounds, lakes, and trail pull-offs the whole way up which make for perfect little pit stops along the route.
You don’t have to go far to hit the trails here. Huntington connects straight into the Arapeen OHV network, which runs for hundreds of miles through the mountains and desert. People come from all over to ride a quick afternoon loop or a full-day if you’ve got the gas for it.
When you’re done running around the Swell or checking out the scenic byways in the area, head to the Ponderosa Grill for a solid meal and some local flavor. The portions are big, the service is friendly, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a slice of homemade pie before it’s gone.
While Huntington, UT certainly has enough outdoor recreation to fill your itinerary, Esquire Estates Mobile Home & RV Park has everything you need back at camp for a restful and rejuvenating stay. Just 10 minutes away over here in Castle Dale, we have short-term and long-term living solutions with a suite of amenities designed to support your adventure. We look forward to hosting you next time you’re in the area!
