About this spot

Sinkhole

The San Rafael Swell in Utah is a stunning natural landscape that is home to the San Rafael River watershed. One of the unique geological features in the area is the sinkhole that formed in the riverbed in 2010, which has become a popular destination for visitors. The sinkhole is estimated to be around sixty feet wide and twenty feet deep, and it is thought to have formed due to the collapse of underground limestone caverns. The sinkhole is a fascinating example of how the forces of nature can shape the land over time, and it is a reminder of the power of water in carving out the landscape.

There are several reasons why visiting the sinkhole in the San Rafael watershed is a must for nature enthusiasts. Firstly, the sinkhole is located in a remote and spectacular wilderness area, offering visitors the opportunity to experience the raw beauty of the Utah landscape. Secondly, the sinkhole is a unique geological formation that provides a glimpse into the complex processes that shape our planet. Visitors can explore the sinkhole and learn about the geology of the area, as well as observe the diverse plant and animal life that call the San Rafael Swell home. Additionally, the sinkhole is a popular spot for hiking, camping, and other outdoor activities, making it an ideal destination for those seeking adventure and exploration.

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.
