Quail Creek Reservoir

Overview

Quail Creek Reservoir is a warm-water reservoir in southwestern Utah near St. George, set in an open desert landscape. Managed for water storage and recreation, it features warmer temperatures and clearer water than many Utah reservoirs. Seasonal water-level changes can affect shoreline access.

Fishing Overview

Fishing Quail Creek Reservoir commonly centers on depth transitions, points, and open-water structure. Warmer water often pushes fish deeper during hot periods, making early and late windows more productive. Clear water, wind, and seasonal timing strongly influence success.

Access and Amenities

Access is provided through Quail Creek State Park with multiple parking areas, shoreline access points, and boat ramps. Shoreline distance to the water and ramp usability can change with water level. Amenities typically include restrooms, picnic areas, and maintained access points.

Fees: Day-use or parking fees may apply at some federally managed access areas.

Regulations and Notes

Fishing regulations are managed by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, with additional rules enforced by Quail Creek State Park. Water management operations and recreational traffic can affect access and conditions. Always confirm current regulations and park notices before fishing.
