Dig Paddlesports rents stand up paddleboards, kayaks, and Obrien Water Carpets at Quail Creek State Park. The park charges a 10.00 per vehicle (up to 8 passengers) entry fee, or you may purchase an annual pass, good for entry to all of Utah's state parks. We love paddling! We love sharing our beautiful desert reservoir, nestled between basalt cliffs and sandstone/limestone slopes, and its beautiful water with everyone. Each rental comes with basic instruction and equipment suited for your ability level. Covered picnic pavilions, full restrooms with running water, plenty of parking, and an easy stroll to the water's edge are some of the park's great features. The best views are had from the far side of the lake, easy to paddle to.

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.

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!
