Duchesne County blends wide-open basin views with hometown ease, offering room to roam and room to put down roots. Along the US-40 corridor, communities like Duchesne, Roosevelt, and Myton anchor daily life with locally owned shops, youth sports, and community events, while oil-and-gas, ranching, and small businesses power a resilient economy.
Outdoors, the county is a launchpad for year-round adventure. Boaters and anglers flock to the deep-blue waters of the state’s Fred Hayes State Park at Starvation, while the surrounding canyons and ridgelines of the Ashley National Forest promise hiking, camping, and epic snowmobiling in the backcountry. Families love easy shoreline days, trophy fishing on the Strawberry and Duchesne rivers, and quick day trips to the fossil-rich landscapes of Dinosaur National Monument, just over in Uintah County. Proximity to mountain passes also keeps weekend getaways to Wasatch County within reach.
Schools are a community focal point, with the Duchesne County School District supporting robust academics, arts, and athletics. For higher education and upskilling, residents tap the Utah State University Uintah Basin campus and Uintah Basin Technical College. Quality healthcare is close at hand through Uintah Basin Healthcare, and county services, permitting, and events are easy to navigate via the Duchesne County government.
