Kayaking

Lots of Options for Kayaking in Greater Zion

See the water of the Greater Zion desert oasis by kayak. The gentle waters of three local reservoirs present the perfect opportunity for a single adventure or something to do with a whole party of people.

Local outfitters (below) have all you need. So fly in or drive in without having to worry about your kayak as a carry-on. We’ve got the water and the vessel.

If you’ve been around here a minute, you know that paddling is one of our very favorite ways to enjoy the outdoors. We’re not hardcore about it, we just love getting out on the water, relaxing and seeing things from a new vantage point. We spent an afternoon on the water at Gunlock State Park, exploring the sandstone caves and inlets, trying out standup paddleboarding for the first time (it’s way more fun than I thought it would be!) and cooling off in the water. Graham got his own little kayak and he was awesome in that thing, cruising around and navigating himself like a boss! Whenever he displays any athleticism, David and I are always shocked and awed because both of us are such goons when it comes to physical activity ?. But, goon-ish though we may be, the reservoir doesn’t judge ? and we had a blast at Gunlock. #VisitStGeorge @atozion @travelmindset
