Show State Parlio Bponin April 15 is the magic day with respect to the opening of most parks within the Utah State parks system. By this date they will be open and ready to host visitors. All but three of the 43 parks are open year-round. HOWEVER, Huntington Lake (April 15-Nov. 30), Lost Creek Lake (May 15-Nov. 30), and Statecoach Inn (March 15-Nov. 15) vary their opening and closing dates. Lost Creek is the only exception to the April 15 opening - snow conditions con-ditions prevent its early opening.
