- Goosenecks State Park
Goosenecks State Park is located near the southern border of the state of
Utah in the westernUnited States . It overlooks a deepmeander of the San Juan River. Millions of years ago, theMonument Upwarp forced the river to carve incised meanders over 1,000 feet (305 meters) deep as the surrounding landscape slowly rose in elevation. Eroded by water, wind, frost, and gravity, this is truly a magnificent sight, and a classic location for observingincised meanders .Goosenecks State Park is largely undeveloped. Primitive
campsite s with picnic tables are scattered back from the edge of the cliff, and vault toilets are available. Campers are advised to bring their own water, food, and other necessary gear.External links
