For a state with vast stretches of desert, Utah has a surprising number of lakes and reservoirs. In fact, Utah is ranked sixth in the U.S. for the amount of boatable water per capita.
The waters of Utah are wonderfully diverse. Boating experiences range from houseboat vacations on sprawl- ing Lake Powell to fishing boat trips on small, high mountain lakes.
Some popular southern Utah boating areas include:
Lake Powell is our most popular boating water. It offers sunny skies, sandy beaches, scenic canyons, and excellent opportunities for skiing, fish- ing, and personal watercraft.
Quail Creek Reservoir is an extremely popular water playground near St. George. It is great for power boating and water sports. Fishing is good during the winter.
Sand Hollow Reservoir is rapidly becoming one of the most popular. It is set amid sand dunes and rocky cliffs, which provide gorgeous scenery and fun play areas. Fishing is good, but power boaters dominate, so fishermen usually choose to hit the water very early.
