Southern Utah Adventure Center

With trails accessible right from our shop it is the best place to rent UTVs. Ride in Warner Valley or the dunes on Sand Mountain or take a tour, the guides know the history and geology of the area and enjoy sharing it with their guests. You can hire a guide for part of your rental time to get you acquainted with the area and then go where you want for the rest of your time. Coral Pink Sand dunes and the amazing Yellow Jacket/Pahrunaweap trail are within driving distance and we rent trailers to take the vehicles there. We have boat and jet ski rentals for the nearby lakes Sand Hollow and Quail Creek. Lake Powell is 2 hours away. The best equipment and a knowledgeable staff ensure you get the most out of your vacation getaway.

Sand Hollow State Park

Reviewed By Gr8Accountant

A beautiful spot especially if you have a boat or OHV. But if you don't, there are rentals & tours. The Westside Loop can accommodate large rigs, has a number of really nice back-in & pull-throughs, & there are at least three (maybe 4) ADA sites that are very well situated & laid out. If you prefer a back-in site, #28 is at the very top of the hill. It has spectacular 360 degree views. Spectacular. But, as another reviewer mentioned, every site has a view and each has a covered picnic table, a fire ring, & an elevated BBQ. We hiked a bit within the park & rode our bikes over to the other side of the reservoir where there is a marina, a restaurant, & rentals of all kinds. The staging areas & parking lots for dune riding are over there and there are beaches as far as the eye can see. There are two campgrounds that have no hook-ups (I think one may be for tents only) & primitive camping is allowed in some of the beach areas. At the shoreline there aren't a lot of trees to begin with, and the water level is quite high at this time, so many of the trees are inundated. If you have a few days & you want a peaceful, scenic place to stay, try Sand Hollow. We enjoyed it and found the Park staff to be very friendly, welcoming, & helpful. This State Park would make a great base camp if you are visiting Zion NP, St. George, & surrounding areas.

Quail Creek State Park

Reviewed By TrippinBeth - Normal, United States

We decided to visit here due to swimmer’s itch warnings at our own camp site. So glad we did! The beach was rocky but easy to navigate. We recommend you wear swim shoes. There are affordable water toy rentals. We tried the magic carpet $35 for 2 hours. Wonderful investment for the kids (8 year olds) and adults. Parking was $15. Worth it!

Hurricane Valley Pioneer Museum

Reviewed By williamtE2189NM

The Hurricane Museum is very interesting. It is quaint and gives one the feeling of visiting a living family journal. The docent is helpful in explaining the various exhibits. The exhibits themselves are somewhat primitive as compared to exhibits in big city museums, but that also makes this museum all the more interesting..After visiting the Hurricane Museum I walked across the street to two antigue stores which have a museum flair to them. The visit to the city park, the museum, and the antigue stores takes about an hour but I spent close to four hours just exploring them all. It was fun afternoon.
