The county seat of Sevier County, Richfield is the largest city in southern-central Utah. It is described as "rural diversified" because of its unique mix of agricultural, retail and industrial activities. Richfield lies on the interstate freeway at the nearly exact halfway mark between Los Angeles and Denver. Many travelers traveling between the two cities stop in Richfield to eat, get fuel or spend the night. Once in Richfield, you would have to travel 100 miles to find a larger city. Its inherent remoteness plus its location on major transportation corridors makes it central Utah's de facto regional capital for shopping and other commercial activities. People in this vast region travel to Richfield to shop, bowl, golf and attend theater, concerts and religious gatherings.
The area of Sevier County is rich with high mountain peaks, vast forests, lakes and streams teeming with fish. You’ll have access to all of those when you visit Fishlake National Forest. Another outdoor destination is Fremont Indian State Park, an archaeologically rich area along Interstate 70 that offers you a glimpse back in time thousands of years when the area was home to a Native American tribe who thrived in the area. Sevier County hosts a country style County Fair every year in the month of August as well as Independence Day celebrations, concert and sports event at the Sevier Valley Center. For horse lovers, there are equestrian events at the Blackhawk Arena in nearby Salina.
