Tips for Your Visit
Bring sunscreen, water, and layers—the sun here is strong.
Early mornings and weekdays mean fewer crowds.
Combine Sand Hollow with a stop at nearby Quail Creek State Park for another scenic lake experience.

Pack a picnic or cool down at the Sand Hollow Grill near the marina. In late afternoon, find a spot overlooking the water—the red cliffs glow as the sun sets, and the reflection creates one of the most photogenic scenes in Utah.
