Swett Ranch

Daggett County, UT

Coordinate verified

USFS-interpreted 1909–1960s homestead on the Greendale benches of Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area (Ashley National Forest). Oscar and Emma Swett ran a horse-powered cattle and sawmill operation until the family sold; the Forest Service preserves cabins, house, and outbuildings on the National Register with seasonal self-guided tours — a rare intact Uinta-mountain pioneer ranch next to the modern reservoir corridor.
