Paddle Adventures at DIG Paddlesports, Hurricane Utah

Located in the heart of southwestern Utah, Hurricane provides gateway access to some of the most dynamic waterways in the region. DIG Paddlesports has established itself as a hub for stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking enthusiasts eager to engage with the stunning Quail Creek State Park. The 2-hour tours and half-day rentals allow visitors to traverse the calm waters surrounded by red sandstone cliffs and desert vegetation like sagebrush and juniper, offering a refreshing contrast to the arid landscape.

Quail Creek itself is a man-made reservoir, known for its clear, turquoise waters set against the raw textures of Hurricane's rocky terrain. DIG’s offerings span from quick 2-hour experiences to full-day rentals, catering to newcomers wanting a taste of paddling, as well as seasoned paddlers looking to spend extended time on the water. Their SUP Pilates sessions introduce a fitness twist, blending core strength and balance training with the soothing motion of the reservoir.

This operation stands out not only for gear rentals but also for community-driven events like Race Leagues and the annual Wild Bill's Wild West Water Rodeo, which add layers of excitement and local flavor. Concerts on the Water and full moon paddle trips reveal a social side to the sport, fitting well with Hurricane’s welcoming outdoor culture.

For families, kids’ camps provide safe, guided introductions to paddlesports, making it accessible across ages and skill levels. DIG Paddlesports’ focus on education, evidenced by their SUP Instructor Fundamentals classes, ensures paddlers develop technique and safety awareness.

Positioned near Zion National Park and the Virgin River, DIG offers a uniquely local paddling experience that complements Utah’s famed desert hikes and canyons. The mix of active instruction, recreational paddling, and community events means this is a prime spot to add waterborne adventure to any southwest Utah itinerary.
