Quail Creek State Park is located about 11 miles northeast of St. George just off Interstate 15 at the Hurricane Exit (Exit 16) which is Highway 59. Just off that exit, you'll travel about 5 miles to the turn off to Quail Lake. The State Fairgrounds is on your right side as is the Washington County Prison. You'll know that's the time to turn left. Follow the short winding road and be ready to turn right into the pay and unloading area. Park rangers monitor the lake all day and are kindly giving out tickets so make sure your registered, safe and sober!!

Fishing, jet skiing, water-skiing, boating and swimming attract outdoor enthusiasts to the Park. Campsite, picnic facilities and restrooms are available. There is a $6 per day use fee and an $11 overnight camping fee.

If you don't have a boat, jet ski or other "toy", just go to the lake and play in the water and enjoy the beaches. There is plenty of "off limits to watercraft" areas so you and others will remain safe. Approximately 75 boats are allowed on the lake at one time.

As a point in history, in the late 1980's, the dam broke at Quail Lake flooding the terrain where the Virgin River runs. Many areas were destroyed and under water for quite some time. Below our office at RE/MAX, the bridge was washed away and remained gone until the early 1990's.
