The Division of Parks and Recreation is addressing drone use with the state park system. A rule amendment is being made that will clarify the use of unmanned aircraft within state parks. Unmanned aircraft (including drones) use in Utah have skyrocketed over the past few years. People are looking for places to fly their unmanned aircraft and have found that state parks are good places to do this. For the most part, park managers consider the flight of unmanned aircraft in state parks as an opportunity to attract more visitors. They have created few management problems, but there are times when they have experienced user conflicts with other park visitors, wildlife disturbances, and general safety concerns. The rule requires that all state park visitors obtain written permission from the park manager prior to flying an unmanned aircraft. The park manager will then determine under what circumstances they will be allowed to fly, if any.
