Kayak/SUP Tour: Birds, Beavers, Turtles, maybe even Cliff Jumping

About this activity

Decompress, engage, and rejuvenate on the water near Zion National Park and St. George, Utah.

Beginner-friendly, we launch from our section of beach at Quail Creek State Park. We'll paddle kayaks or stand up paddleboards to see cliffs, limestone shale beaches, and known locations for wildlife viewing. Our creek channel is a great nature walk or paddle. We may see beaver, sunbathing turtles, great blue heron, eagle, and perhaps even owl.

While we paddle, we'll share information about the geology of the area. You'll learn something of the ancient peoples and more modern settlers of the region. We may even have time to see some petroglyphs near our shop.

When finished, stay and eat from our Dig In Grille.
