This park is situated in the north-central portion of Utah, on the shores of a large reservoir that shares its name. The small municipality of Willard sits on the park's fringes. The nearest larger city is Ogden, found less than 20 miles to the south. The state's capital, Salt Lake City, lies around 50 miles to the south, at the southern tip of the Great Salt Lake.

The climate in this region is fairly arid, while plenty of trees can be found spread around the local area, it isn't largely forested. The bay sits adjacent to the Great Salt Lake, but the two were artificially separated more than 50 years ago. After this area was drained, freshwater replaced its contents. Water sports are the primary activities available here, though camping, picnicking, hiking, and birdwatching are regularly enjoyed as well.
