Goosenecks State Park, Utah:

Goosenecks State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Utah, overlooking a deep meander of the San Juan River. Goosenecks State Park is located near the southern border of Utah, a short distance from Mexican Hat, Utah. The Goosenecks were formed millions of years ago, when the Monumenst Upwarp forced the river to carve incised meanders over 1,000 feet (300 m) deep as the surrounding landscape slowly rose in elevation. Then, the landscape was eroded by water, wind, frost, and gravity. Goosenecks State Park is a great location in which you can observe incised meanders. If you visit the Goosenecks State Park, you should know that it is largely undeveloped. Primitive campsites with picnic tables are scattered back from the edge of the cliff, and vault toilets are available. Campers are advised to bring their own water, food, and other necessary gear. There are no developed hiking trails in the park.
The closest access to the San Juan River is the Honaker Trail, a few miles to the northwest.
