Quail Creek State Park: Tranquility on the Water, Just Minutes Away

Just a stone’s throw from Pecan Valley Resort, Quail Creek State Park offers a peaceful escape where glassy waters meet vibrant red rock backdrops. This hidden gem is perfect for those looking to slow down, cast a line, or spend a lazy afternoon under the Southern Utah sun.

The park’s 60-acre reservoir is a favorite among locals and visitors alike - well-stocked with rainbow trout, bass, and bluegill, it’s a go-to spot for both seasoned anglers and first-time fishers. But fishing is just the beginning. You can paddle a kayak across calm waters, take a swim to cool off in the summer heat, or simply spread out a picnic and watch the sun dip behind the cliffs.

With campgrounds, shaded picnic areas, and easy shoreline access, Quail Creek is a great destination for families and outdoor lovers. Whether you're soaking up the sun on a paddleboard or enjoying a quiet morning walk along the lakeside trails, the atmosphere here is all about peace, simplicity, and connection with nature.

Need gear? Local outfitters nearby make it easy to rent kayaks, pedal boats, or paddleboards - so all you need to bring is your sense of adventure. And when you’re ready to unwind, Pecan Valley Resort is just a few minutes away - offering all the comforts of home, from spa decks to shaded cabanas.

Whether it’s a spontaneous afternoon trip or part of your weekend itinerary, Quail Creek is the perfect complement to your Pecan Valley experience - a quiet, refreshing pause between bigger adventures.
