Summary


Cliff diving/jumping has been a popular activity at many of our state parks for years and is currently allowed on all water-based state parks except Palisade State Park and Red Fleet State Park. Section R651-633-2 currently prohibits cliff diving/jumping at Palisade State Park and at Red Fleet State Park. Palisade State Park has only one area with rocks suitable for jumping from and this area is not under the state's jurisdiction as it is owned by the local irrigation company. Red Fleet State Park has an area straight across from the boat ramp that many visitors have been jumping from for years in violation of this section. The Division's current park manager would like to change this section to allow cliff jumping/diving in that area. Red Fleet State Park also has very high cliffs bordering the reservoir further upstream that are not safe to jump from that will remain closed by posting signs restricting that activity as authorized by Section R651-633-1. Also, Section R651-633-2 refers to a part of the Utah Code that no longer exists regarding guide or service dogs and the reference needs to be updated with the current Section 62A-5b-104.
