Sand Hollow State Park

Red rock and red sand meet warm, blue water at this state park, which is one of the most popular in Utah. ATV trails run over sand dune access to Sand Mountain in the park, and additional trails are located nearby. This is a great place to camp, picnic, boat, fish and ride ATVs.

Sand Hollow Reservoir’s warm water makes it ideal for skiing and other water sports. Anglers fish for bass, bluegill, crappie and catfish.

Nearby attractions include St George City, Quail Creek State Park and Red Cliffs BLM Recreation area. Zion National Park is within an easy driving distance.
