Nielson Construction is making significant contributions to the development of the new Utahraptor State Park, a stunning destination 13 miles north of Moab. Nestled near the iconic Arches and Canyonlands National Parks, Utahraptor State Park is recognized not only for its striking red rock formations but more notably for the prehistoric remains hidden beneath its surface. The park will feature 82 paved campsites, two Highway Patrol living facilities, manager and staff housing, an entrance station building, and a network of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and ATV/OHV use.
