About Fred Hayes State Park at Starvation

A 3,495-acre reservoir fills most of the land here, giving boaters and anglers open water framed by the surrounding high desert terrain. The reservoir was built by damming the Strawberry River, and its waters draw visitors for recreation on the water itself. The surrounding shoreline offers access points for those looking to spend time near the water's edge.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
