Paddle Board
Rent an inflatable paddle board (SUP) — stable enough for first-timers, with paddle, ankle leash, and pump included. Lakes, calm bays, slow rivers. Versatile enough for cruising or light yoga, and responsive enough to stay interesting once you have your balance. Just pick a spot and push off.
It's hot out there!
Why not cool off a bit?
Sand Hollow (30 minutes) is a great destination if you are looking for a simple flat sandy day on the lake. Sand Hollow is a popular spot for jet skiing, paddle boarding, or just lounging around.
Quail Creek (25 minutes) is popular if you are hoping for something a bit more adventurous. There are few, if any, machines on Quail Creek, which makes it popular for paddle boarding. Quail Creek also has a long canyon, great for exploring on your SUP and even cliff jumping.

Inflatable boards that fit in a normal car, picked up in Apple Valley, Utah.
Southern Utah gets hot, and there is a limit to how much red rock you want to look at from a saddle. Within a short drive of our shop in Apple Valley there are three reservoirs with genuinely good flatwater paddling, and our boards are inflatable, so you do not need a roof rack or a trailer to get one there.
Where to paddle
Sand Hollow Reservoir is the one most people picture: warm, unusually clear water surrounded by red sandstone, with easy launch points and enough space that a busy weekend never feels crowded on the water. It is also the closest to us, which makes it the obvious choice for a half-day.
Quail Creek Reservoir is deeper and noticeably cooler, which is welcome in high summer. The water is a striking blue and the surrounding cliffs give you something to paddle toward.
Gunlock Reservoir is quieter and further west. In spring, when there has been enough runoff, the waterfalls below the dam are worth the extra drive on their own.
Why inflatable boards
A hard board needs a rack, straps and a plan. An inflatable rolls into a bag that fits in a boot or a back seat, inflates in a few minutes with the pump we send with it, and is markedly more forgiving if you clip a rock at the shoreline. On flatwater there is no meaningful downside — they are stable, easy to stand on, and far easier to travel with.
First time on a board?
Start on your knees. Paddle out a little on your knees until the board feels predictable, then stand up in one movement with your feet where your knees were. Look at the horizon, not at your feet. Most people are standing comfortably inside ten minutes, and falling in on a warm reservoir is not a problem — it is arguably the point.
Before you go
Utah treats a paddle board as a vessel, so you are expected to carry a personal flotation device. Sand Hollow, Quail Creek and Gunlock are state parks and charge a day-use entrance fee per vehicle. Rules and fees change, so check Utah State Parks for current requirements before you drive out. Wind picks up in the afternoon on all three reservoirs — mornings are almost always the better paddle.
What it costs
Boards are about $25 for a half day, $40 for a full day, or $200 for a week if you want one for a whole trip. A small refundable deposit hold applies. We keep five boards, so a group can go out together. Pick your dates above to see live availability, or call us at (385) 236-8086.
