Best time to visit Red Fleet State Park
Late spring through early fall, roughly May through September, is the best window for RV travel to Red Fleet, when reservoir water levels, swimming, and boating are at their peak. June and September are especially pleasant, with warm days, cooler nights, and fewer crowds than the July and August high season. Shoulder months of April and October are good for hiking the Dinosaur Trackway and mountain biking, though water activities cool off quickly. Winters are cold and quiet, with limited services and occasional snow on park roads.

The trail heads south from the BLM trailhead and enters Red Fleet State Park where dinosaur tracks can be viewed in slick rock, and visitors are asked not to touch or disturb them. From spring to fall, hikers should be prepared with ample water for a half-day hike. muleapi.blm.gov/visit/dinosaur-trackway-trailhead
