What we're about
Work's over - let's play! We love to paddle, be it kayak, SUP (stand up paddleboards), canoe, outrigger canoe (OC1, OC2, etc.), even sculling, rowing, or land paddling. Forget the daily grind and get on the water with us in Southern Utah. See you at the lakes!
Organizers Bill and Michelle Ennis own/operate rental fleets at Gunlock State Park and Quail Creek State Park. They have been paddling these waters for over a decade and have thousands of hours logged and have paddled at all times of the year.
Please be considerate and take care of yourself by having and actively using appropriate, USCG-approved safety equipment. Remember, you are paddling at your own risk.

We are going to go back to Quail Lake again. Last month we had about nine paddlers who all had a great time with no wind, paddled up the creek to the little waterfall. So come on out and let's have a bigger group. An easy paddle up the creek and across the lake is fun at night. We will meet at the ramp for launching. The moon does not rise until about 9 PM so we may want to linger on the lake a bit longer because it is a full moon.
If you need to make arrangements to rent any gear from Dig Paddlesports it would be best done in advance so they can accommodate your needs. They are OPEN on weekends for the season, during the week by appointment - YAY! They also have paddling-specific neoprene gloves in stock that are very comfortable.
Please don't forget your headlamp.....a light on your boat is required by the state. Bring your PFD.
Check back on the Zion Paddlers site for up dates. If it is too windy to be safe or have fun we will cancel, but that has only happened twice!
Note: Water levels are up, almost full. We can check out the creek area and hunt imaginary alligators.

Want a cheap weekly opportunity to race against other paddlers, get a good workout, and have a refreshing bev' after? Join us at Wednesday Night Race League.
We keep this one simple.
It's just a lot of fun, maybe some sweat if you're up for it, and your pick of drink from our fridge at the end of the "race". There is a short course option, distance option, and drag races (less than 200m). It's a family-friendly event and all ages are welcome! We'll teach you what we can, and you can put that knowledge into practice. Video will be shot and shared, times taken and recorded.
We also keep Race League participants informed of upcoming races around the country that you can travel to and connect with other paddlers from all over.
Give us a call with any questions. [masked]
Meet up at the Dig Shop at Quail Lake to get race instruction.
- Wednesdays 6pm
- All ages welcome

What is the cost?
- It's only $10. Yeah, TEN. BUCKS. Boards included. Kayaks included. Deal of the century.
What is the 1st Responder Special?
- For first responders or active duty military (regular/reserves/National Guard/Coast Guard): No charge. Dead serious. Thank you for your service.
Why does the 1st Responder deal exist?
- First Responders get bad calls every day. This is our way of giving back to our "thin red line" and "thin blue line", as well as our military. Come and get a good workout, decompress, clear your mind, and play amongst friends. Paddling is 100% "in the moment". Clete, you will always be THE MAN.
