Sand Hollow State Park

Not far from St. George in southwestern Utah lies a park that’s mostly water. The 1,300-acre Sand Hollow Reservoir's waters warm up to more than 80 degrees in the summer; a number of sandy beaches here offer good access as well as rocky nooks to explore. Boating is permitted in the park and anyone with a fishing pole is likely to snag some bluegill and largemouth bass, and maybe even a bullhead. There are also two campgrounds, and visitors can rent just about anything in the vicinity, from ATVs to boats and Jet Skis.
