While Southern Utah is world-renowned for its canyons, it is also home to spectacular turquoise reservoirs that offer a signature "lake life" experience. For the buyer who values a morning on the water as much as an afternoon on the trails, these water sport communities represent the pinnacle of luxury living in the desert.
Located in the southern corridor of St. George, Desert Color is a revolutionary master-planned community that has brought a sustainable, high-end beach lifestyle to the edge of the city.
The Lifestyle: The centerpiece of this community is a massive, 2.5-acre sparkling blue lagoon featuring white sandy beaches. Residents enjoy a resort-style atmosphere where paddle boarding, swimming, and kayaking are available just steps from their front door. The community also features a luxury pool complex and a dedicated recreation outfitter for all your water gear needs.
Situated in Hurricane, just east of St. George, Sand Hollow is the undisputed crown jewel for motorized water sports in the region. It borders the Sand Hollow State Park, which is famous for its warm, blue water and vibrant orange sand dunes.
The Lifestyle: This is a true boater’s paradise. Residents have immediate access to a 1,322-acre reservoir perfect for wakeboarding, jet skiing, and powerboating. The "South Beach" area is a hub for social gatherings, while the deeper waters are excellent for bass and bluegill fishing. The unique "dune-to-water" access allows for a seamless transition from off-roading to boating in a single afternoon.
Located between St. George and Hurricane, the communities surrounding Quail Creek Reservoir offer a more tranquil and established water-focused lifestyle.
The Lifestyle: Quail Creek is known for having some of the warmest waters in the state and is a premier destination for paddle boarding and fishing. Because it is slightly more sheltered from the wind than other reservoirs, it is the preferred spot for calm-water sports and serious anglers looking for rainbow trout and largemouth bass.
For those who want a water feature integrated into a more traditional city environment, The Shores offers a unique "water-adjacent" lifestyle in the heart of West St. George.
The Lifestyle: While not a boating community, this area is built around the Tonaquint ponds and the Santa Clara River corridor. It is a haven for "light" water recreation, such as fly fishing in the ponds or strolling along the river walks. It offers a lush, riparian environment that is rare in the high desert.
Best known for the "man-made" luxury lagoon lifestyle and modern-coastal design.
The destination for serious boaters, wakeboarders, and those who need expansive storage for watercraft.
