Goosenecks State Park

In southern Utah near Arizona, the San Juan River meanders its way through a series of gooseneck turns cut 1,000 feet deep into the canyon below. The San Juan River flows through here as an entrenched river, its incised meanders (entrenched meanders) making tight turns as it flows through the canyon on its way its confluence with the Colorado River at Lake Powell. The Goosenecks are a classic example of incised meanders.
