Full-Day Kayak & Paddleboard Rentals in Quail Creek State Park

Enjoy the spectacular Zion views and cool off with a paddle on Quail Creek Reservoir, just a short drive from Zion in Hurricane, Utah.  Rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard right at the water's edge. When you rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard in advance, your gear will be ready for you ahead of your arrival, taking out the guesswork and logistics.

You and your group will have an adventure of kayaking and paddle boarding on Quail Creek Reservoir. Set up a picnic on the shoreline, paddle to cliff-jumping spots, rope swings, limestone coves, and swimming spots, and have our guides show you hundreds of ancient petroglyphs left by ancient cultures. All you need is your watercraft of choice to cross the lake and take in the spectacular scenery, and you can bring your dog along as well!
Rental options include kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, Party SUPs (a giant multi-person paddle board), and water carpets.

FAQs

Is there a weight limit for kayak or SUP rentals at Quail Creek?

There is no specific weight limit for rentals. So long as you are comfortable paddling, our rentals can accommodate all body types.

Can we rent from you and take our rentals to a different location?

Yes. If you wish to transport the equipment to some other local lake or pond, we may have inflatable roof racks and straps that you may use at no extra charge, based on availability.

What is the weather policy?

We do not offer refunds due to inclement weather, but you may reschedule through the end of the year; you will be issued a credit valid for 12 months from the rental date. Rain alone is not considered inclement weather. Conditions where lightning is present are considered to be inclement weather. Sustained high winds (15 mph +) may be considered to be inclement weather. In the event of windy conditions, we may offer a downwind pickup and shuttle back to our parking area at no additional charge, if conditions are appropriate.

If an event or rental cannot begin because of weather conditions, we will hold off rentals and events start for up to 30 minutes. At that time conditions will be evaluated, and a decision will be made whether the event or rental can continue or not. Weather conditions often improve, therefore events and rentals are not canceled in advance. Some events and rentals may continue in the rain.
