The water hits like a cool exclamation against hot red rock as a Yamaha Waverunner slices past low sandstone bluffs and bright dunes. From the Sand Hollow boat ramp the reservoir opens into a bowl of color — rust-colored cliffs rising from turquoise water, wind that dares you to chase the next wave, and pockets of calm coves that invite slow cruising.

Sand Hollow Reservoir is a relatively recent feature in Southern Utah’s arid landscape, created as part of regional water projects and rapidly adopted for recreation. Geologically, the area sits on Navajo and Kayenta sandstones; wind and intermittent flash floods sculpt the ridgelines and dunes you’ll see from the water. The human story is practical: irrigation and recreation melded to make a reliable lake near Hurricane and St. George.
Expect straightforward rentals: well-maintained 2024 Yamaha Waverunners seating up to three, fuel and basic insurance included, and options ranging from hourly to full-day or multiday hires. Wake Side Rentals offers delivery to other local reservoirs, including Quail Creek and Lake Powell, with local advice on best launch points and sheltered coves.
Practical guidance: arrive early in summer to beat heat and afternoon winds, bring a snug-fitting lifejacket, waterproof phone case, and reef-safe sunscreen. Watch posted speed and wake zones to protect shoreline habitats and other users. If you have medical or back conditions, follow the provider’s health advisories — this activity requires moderate fitness and ability to brace through choppy water. With planning, a Waverunner day at Sand Hollow is direct, vivid, and deeply accessible — the kind of high-energy outing that leaves a clear line of wake and a lasting view.
