Ephraim is a small suburban town in Sanpete County. The neighborhoods are calm and quiet most of the year. The community is extremely close-knit and enjoys the natural areas found in and around town by participating in outdoor recreation. Ephraim is right next to the picturesque Manti-La Sal National Forest, a year round park perfect for camping, hiking, scenic drives, and cross-country skiing. Canyon View Park is another hometown favorite featuring a river and fishing access, pavilion, playground, volleyball court, and rolling hills perfect for sledding in the winter. If you’re looking for even more fun in town, catch a blockbuster in an old-fashioned cinema at Towne Theater or hit a strike at Snow Cap Lanes.
Known as Utah’s heart of Scandinavia, the town is extremely proud of its roots. In 1847, settlers constructed a fort that eventually became Ephraim. The biggest event of the year is the annual Scandinavian Festival, a two-day celebration showcasing folk dance ensembles, car shows, 5K races, quilt shows, and more.
Ephraim is also home to Snow College. The athletics department is great and the community attends sporting events held on campus.
