Paddleboard Quail Creek State Park
Enjoy the calm, deep blue waters of the reservoir, which stays warm through September and is surrounded by multicolored desert cliffs.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for at least 2 to 3 hours on the water to explore the narrow inlets and the northern red rock canyons.
- 2Arrive before 9:00 AM to secure a parking spot near the boat ramp and beat the afternoon wind gusts.
- 3Rent boards directly on-site from DIG Paddlesports located right on the beach if you don't have your own gear.
- 4Purchase your Utah State Parks day pass at the entrance gate or via the QR codes posted at the parking lots.
- 5Bring a waterproof dry bag for your phone and keys, as the wakes from passing motorboats can occasionally cause small swells.
- 6Pack plenty of water and sun protection, as the white sand beaches and red cliffs reflect intense heat throughout the day.
