The park has several overlooks, a visitor center, the Kayenta Campground with 21 RV campsites with electricity and tent pads, the Wingate Campground (New 2018) which features 20 RV campsites and 11 hike-in tent only campsites, nine yurts, a picnic area at the point, a coffee shop that serves food and beverages, and a {{convert|9|mi|km|adj=on}} loop hiking trail that allows access to the East Rim Trail and the West Rim Trail. Safety concerns include the relative isolation of the park (gas, food and medical care are over {{convert|30|mi|km}} away in Moab), lightning danger and unfenced cliffs.[5] Nearby Moab is a noted center for mountain biking. Bikes in the park are allowed on paved roads, and there is a mountain bike trail called Intrepid Trail with 17 miles of single track trails near the State Park Visitor's Center with loops of varying levels of difficulty. Hunting is not allowed in the park. The park is so named because of its use as a natural corral by cowboys in the 19th century, where horses often died of exposure.[6] Dead Horse Point has frequently been noted on lists of unusual place names.[7] The area was also used in the final 'Grand Canyon' scene of the 1991 film Thelma & Louise.[8] {{wide image|Dead-Horse-Point-Panorama.JPG|800px|Dead Horse Point State Park panorama||none}}See also
