📍Must visit park in Utah
📍Quail Creek State Park sits in Hurricane, Utah and is not far from Zion National Park. It’s a great place to cool off in the summer or makes a quiet and peaceful spot to camp in the winter months! It’s also a great place to fish, especially in the colder winter months when the water is colder.
