The county seat and largest city is Vernal. Uintah County is the largest natural gas producer in Utah.

Uintah County is home to Steinaker State Park, Red Fleet State Park and the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park Museum. South of Vernal you'll also find the Ouray National Wildlife Refuge and the Ouray National Fish Hatchery. East of Vernal, against the boundary of Dinosaur National Monument, you'll find the Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery. The Dinosaur Diamond Prehistoric Highway crosses the northern part of Uintah county east-west through Vernal while the Flaming Gorge-Uintas Scenic Byway runs north-south from Vernal.

Between the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation, Ashley National Forest, Dinosaur National Monument and the Bureau of Land Management, there is very little private land in Uintah County.
