Bill > HCR011

This concurrent resolution encourages Utah's Division of State Parks to pursue land transfers and management agreements with federal agencies like the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and United States Forest Service to expand state park opportunities. Specifically, the resolution calls for the division to petition the BLM to transfer land for creating the Little Sahara State Park, which currently receives 300,000 visitors annually, and to negotiate with the Forest Service to transfer the Antelope Flat Campground near Flaming Gorge Reservoir for potential state park development. Additionally, the resolution urges the division to explore acquiring, leasing, or managing other properties suitable for state parks, monuments, or campgrounds, including conducting a feasibility study for a potential state park along the Davis County Skyline Drive. The resolution also requires the division to submit annual progress reports to the Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment Interim Committee in 2025, 2026, and 2027, demonstrating the state's commitment to expanding and enhancing recreational opportunities for Utah residents and tourists while preserving the state's natural landscapes and cultural resources.
