I'm not sure what the 'answer' is for Hyrum, or many other state parks. I've lived near the lake for near 4 decades and the changes to the park have mirrored growth in the valley (and beyond) and corresponding demands for outdoor recreation. Loved to death is correct. Indeed, the sizes and numbers of power boats on the lake from Memorial to Labor Day is amazing. One good thing about COVID is that they started (an now continue) to limit numbers somewhat as years prior they would just jam them in and park them in the group camp overflow. The beach is also full all summer with many walkins from street after parking lot fills. Amazing the wash from the boats on the beach and entire shore - young grandson won't even go in its so dirty. Amongst this there are us who prefer to fish and the changes there have been lamented in this thread.
