Description:
Kolob Reservoir is at the very end of the Kolob Terrace Road on Kolob Terrace.  It is a large man made lake sitting at 8,100', surrounded by Oak and mixed Conifer-Aspen Woodland.  The reservoir is ice free form April to November most years.

Birding:
The reservoirs provides excellent habitat for diving ducks and waterbirds, including COMMON LOON during spring and fall migration. GREATER SCAUP and other diving ducks occasionally show up, as well as various shorebirds.  The north end is often shallow and better for dabbling ducks, wading birds, and shorebirds.

Directions:
From I-15 north of La Verkin, take exit 27 southeast toward La Verkin on Route 17.  From I-15 south of Hurricane, take exit 16 onto SR-9 East bound and follow to La Verkin. From La Verkin, take SR-9 east about 6 miles into Virgin and look for Kolob Terrace Road on your left as you get towards the end of town.  The road goes 20 miles till Kolob Terrace from where it is a few miles further to the end of the road and the reservoir.
