Experiencing Sand Hollow Utah

The reservoir is 1300 acres and boasts of activities for any age or skill level. The water is warm May through September. This area is also popular for ATV riders because of the sand dunes that are home to some pretty technical trails. Some of the highlights are the red sand beaches, the fishing, the ATV and OHV trails, and watersports. You can fish from the shore or from a boat and there is a variety of bluegill, crappie, bass, or catfish. There are 62,000 acres of trails with ATV and OHV rentals available on site. For watersports, you can boat, or jet ski, and there is watercraft available for rent on site. All the boats are inspected before they are rented out each time. One thing to look out for in the reservoir is that there are free-swimming microscopic parasites in the water and some people experience itchiness from this.
