The area north of Moab known as Dalton Wells will in the near future be known under its newly approved designation: Utahraptor State Park. House Bill 257, sponsored by Rep. Steve Eliason (R-District 45), was passed by the state legislature in early March and is expected to soon be signed by Governor Spencer Cox, and establishes both Utahraptor State Park and a new park in Morgan County called Lost Creek, with a combined price tag of $36.5 million.
Local officials have been concerned about overuse damaging the undeveloped area in recent years; the new state park will protect the rich paleontological, cultural, natural and recreation resources in the area.
