Utah's state parks are more than great places to visit. State parks and museum provide tremendous economic benefits to our state and local communities through increased revenue and tourism by:
- Generating $9.85 in local economic impact for every $1 of general fund appropriation
- Generating $67 million in state economic benefit through day-use, camping and golf
- Paying $11.2 million to individual counties in 2010 property tax for off-highway vehicles and boats
- Collecting and paying more than $1 million in state and local taxes to counties and communities
