Visit Ken's Lake
Enjoy swimming, fishing, or picnicking at this scenic reservoir nestled against the red rock backdrop, offering a refreshing escape.
Itinerary tips
- 1Pack a portable shade structure or beach umbrella, as there is very little natural shade along the shoreline.
- 2Allow for 2 to 4 hours to fully enjoy swimming and paddleboarding before the desert wind typically picks up in the late afternoon.
- 3Drive approximately 10 miles south of Moab on Highway 191 and follow the well-marked signs for Flat Pass Road to reach the reservoir.
- 4Bring $15 in cash for the day-use fee, which is paid via self-service envelopes at the entrance station.
- 5Incorporate a short walk to the nearby Faux Falls, a man-made waterfall located just a half-mile east of the lake.
- 6Arrive with a full tank of water and supplies, as there are no equipment rentals or food vendors available at the site.
