Visiting Toquerville Falls, Utah Waterfalls

Toquerville Falls is located near St.George in Toquerville, UT. The falls flow from La Verkin Creek over two pour offs – the first a cascade of falls, and the second a complete drop off to about 20 feet to the bottom of the creek.

About

No hiking is required, but you better have a 4×4 car. The sign along the road says “4×4 recommended”, but there’s no way anything less will make it. The dirt road is only 5.3 miles, but driving it will take you around 45 minutes. We drove a Tacoma and put it in 4-wheel drive several times, all while driving very slow.

The drive is worth it though, as you follow the Hurricane Cliffs to the West, and Smith Plateau to the East. Coming here during Winter or after a rain would not be an ideal time to visit, as the road could be very wet and muddy. All other seasons area great, with high run-off in Spring (what we experienced). In summer, expect hundreds of people cooling off in Toquerville Falls! This area is great for the whole family, especially if you like to ride ATVs or dirt bikes.
 

Directions

From I-15 take exit 27 towards Toquerville, UT, driving East on UT-17. Turn left on Spring Drive. Reset your odometer to 0, and drive 5.8 miles along this road. Once you reach the green sign, the dirt road begins and you will now need 4×4 drive. This drive will take about 45 minutes to reach the falls from the sign.

You can use this driving map, however Google doesn’t understand where the falls are. Use my map provided below for an accurate drive.

Wow, what a pretty drive! The brown mountain to the right is the Smith Plateau. Some sections of road were completely flat and easy to drive. The road is a single lane, so you still have to go slow in case you need to share the road.

The Hurricane Cliffs ahead. If you have an ATV you can explore much more of this area.

After a beautiful drive we reached the falls! We were surprised to see ATVs and people on the other side of the creek. I wasn’t aware of another route to get here, but if you do some research and want to take an ATV this way, I’m sure it would be really fun.

You can see the falls were brown from the recent rain and snow melt from up high. There was no way we were going to get wet today or try and cross it.

The large pour off that is roughly 20 ft high. Can’t believe how fast the water was raging!

Charlie dipped his toes in the water, but I kept him back from going out too far. I was concerned about the strength of the current and didn’t want him falling over the lower falls. I think he still had a good time!

So glad I finally got to see this place – it’s been on my list forever!

I would love to come back in the Fall when the leaves have turned red and yellow yet would still be warm enough to play in the water. Until next time!
