Historic Pond overview
Historic Pond
One of the main reasons to visit the Historic Pond is to experience the rich history of the area. The pond was originally built in the early 1900s to provide water for the local livestock. Today, visitors can see the original dam, which has been restored and is still used to provide water for the park.
In addition to the pond itself, there are also several historic buildings located nearby. These include the old ranger station, which has been converted into a museum, and a historic cabin that was used by early settlers in the area.
One unique thing that visitors might see at the Historic Pond is the wildlife that lives in and around the pond. This includes a variety of birds, fish, and other animals that are attracted to the water.
Overall, the Historic Pond is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Utah's national park. Whether you're interested in history, wildlife, or just want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, this site is sure to impress.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace
- Know before you go
- Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
- Stay on trail
- Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
- Respect wildlife
- Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
- Pack it in, pack it out
- Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
- Leave what you find
- Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
