The Cannonville Visitor Center is closed until further notice, according to information from the Bureau of Land Management. Located in the heart of Cannonville, Utah, the center is one of four visitor centers within the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument.

The center typically operates from mid-March to mid-November. It is situated on the north end of Cottonwood Canyon Road, a 47-mile scenic dirt road connecting US-89 with Utah SR-12. Visitors to the center can find interpretive displays focused on human geography, specifically regarding Pioneer and Native American history in the Monument.

The center features various accessibility features, including a ramp at the main entrance and two accessible restrooms with automatic doors. A concrete path leads to the entrance, though the slope of the path slightly exceeds 5 percent, which may pose challenges for users of non-motorized wheelchairs.

While the center is currently closed, the site features accessible drinking water via an exterior drinking fountain and has a small patio area. There is no fee to visit the site.

The site is located at geographic coordinates 37.56695833, -112.0545306.
