Scofield at a glance
Carbon County · Utah
Scofield’s town website places the community in Pleasant Valley and dates its incorporation to 1892. That municipal identity is distinct from nearby Scofield State Park, even though both share a name and a connection with the reservoir landscape in Carbon County.
Utah State Parks provides the separate visitor resource for reservoir recreation, including fishing and camping information. The town website supplies municipal contact information rather than serving as the park’s booking office. Reading the two resources together helps residents identify town government and allows visitors to investigate the surrounding recreation area through the agency responsible for current park conditions and arrangements.
