About Black Rock
Established in 1876 as a railroad station on what became the Union Pacific Railroad, Black Rock served ranchers, homesteaders, and travelers for decades before declining as automobile travel replaced rail service. Today, the community is remembered for its historic railroad heritage, striking volcanic rock formations, and proximity to Utah's spectacular Black Rock Desert volcanic landscape — one of Utah's most fascinating geologic regions, featuring lava flows, volcanic cones, lava tubes, and dramatic desert scenery. Nearby attractions include the Black Rock Desert volcanic field, Tabernacle Hill Lava Tubes, Devil's Kitchen, Pahvant Butte, Little Sahara Recreation Area, Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge, Notch Peak, and Crystal Peak. Residents and visitors enjoy ATV and UTV riding, camping, hunting, hiking, rockhounding, geology exploration, wildlife viewing, photography, stargazing, and desert touring.
