Quail Creek Reservoir

Quail Creek State Park is home to some of the warmest water in Utah and is a paradise for swimmers, boaters, fishers, and campers. The lake spans 600 acres and is up to 120 feet deep, which is the perfect habitat for rainbow trout, catfish, crappie, and largemouth bass. The weather is mild year-round and is popular for water sports. Swimming in the lake is refreshing, clean, and perfect for a day spent relaxing on the beachfront. This reservoir is often quieter and less crowded than the neighboring Sand Hollow reservoir. Quail Creek offers a gorgeous sanctuary to soak up the Southern Utah charm and enjoy life on the lake!
