With
its warm, blue waters and red sandstone landscape, Utah's newest state
park is also one of its most popular. Boat and fish on Sand Hollow
Reservoir, explore and ride the dunes of Sand Mountain on an off-highway
vehicle, then RV or tent camp in the new campground.
The sprawling 20,000-acre
park, which rests mostly on USDI Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land,
rivals Utah's two largest state parks - Wasatch Mountain and Antelope
Island. Sand Hollow already one of the most visited destinations in the
Utah State Park system, with recreation opportunities for nearly every
user from boaters to bikers, and OHV riders to equestrians.

A favorite destination for local
off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts, Sand Mountain provides 15,000
acres of perfectly sculpted dunes. The red sand is an incredible
backdrop for Sand Hollow reservoir. At nearly twice the size of nearby
Quail Creek Reservoir, Sand Hollow offers boating and other water
recreation in a spectacular setting.
Sand Hollow is located approximately 15
miles east of St George and seven miles east of the I-15 Hurricane Exit.
Visitors should exit I-15 at Exit 16 (Highway 9), travel east for about
four miles and turn right on Sand Hollow Road, travel south for about
three miles and turn left at the park entrance.
