Paddleboard Quail Creek State Park
Gliding across glassy, turquoise water surrounded by red cliffs; the reservoir's warmer water makes it ideal for late-season sessions.
Itinerary tips

- 2Pay the $15-$20 daily vehicle entry fee at the main gate or use a self-service kiosk if the booth is closed.
- 3Arrive before 9:00 AM to secure a parking spot at the West Overlook or the boat ramp during peak summer weekends.
- 4Rent boards directly from the onsite vendor, DIG Paddlesports, located right on the beach for convenience.
- 5Pack a dry bag for your phone and plenty of water, as the reflection off the red cliffs intensifies the desert heat.
- 6Head to the northern end of the reservoir to find the calmest wake-free zones away from motorized boats.
