Sand Hollow is the closest thing to a tropical paradise in the middle of the Utah desert, near Hurricane, Utah. It features a beach area, places to cliff jump, swim, and off-road with your ATV. There is seemingly no end of things to do at Sand Hollow.
First, there is the cliff jumping area located to the left of the parking lot of the entrance to the State Park. Local adrenaline junkies frequent the spot and can be seen doing tricks and flips as they jump from the rocks. Even if you don't consider yourself an adrenaline junkie, but want to challenge yourself and have some unique fun in the desert of southern Utah, cliff diving can almost certainly provide that sense of adventure to you.
Next, there the local beach off to the right side of the entrance where visitors can swim, paddleboard, canoe, and boat in the reservoir area. The beach can be crowded at times and the summer heat in Southern Utah can be intense from May to September. The best times to go to Sand Hollow State Park would be in the morning and in the evening. You may run the risk of the Park being crowded, but you would be able to better maximize your time while at the Park. Also be sure to bring plenty of sunscreen!
Last, but not least, if you have ATV's that you love to bring when you visit the desert, then Sand Hollow could be the place for you! With vast sand dunes and sandy roads to speed through, Sand Hollow could be the perfect place to bring your ATV's to see what they are made of.
There is an entrance fee to get into the Park at $10 per vehicle. The pass is good all day, allowing visitors to get a full day at the Park.
Let your inner adventure out and spend some time at Sand Hollow!
