Difficulty Level: Easy
Distance: 11 miles from Toquerville
TRAIL SUMMARY
Toquerville Falls is an oasis in the desert that is best found by truck, SUV, or ATV. The road is rough, but well worth the trip. The views are spectacular on the drive, and the waterfalls are great to look at and play in. The area is clean and great for families. This is not much of a hike, but by request and because of the popularity of the location, I decided to put up an official post about it. You won’t be sorry you made the trip!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Tim LeBaron
HikeStGeorge is a project that began as a seedling for Tim LeBaron in the early part of 2008, but really didn’t begin to blossom until the latter part of 2011. The original idea behind the site was to bring to light all of the harder to find, or “less known” hidden gems of the area. It was more of a pet project than anything. As excitement about the site began to spread, there was more of a push to develop information about all hikes in the Southern Utah Region.

do you need to reserve a spot or is ti first come first serve?
This is BLM land, and it is dispersed camping, so it is first come, first served.
Is it going to be open this weekend ?
As far as we know, Toquerville Falls is open. You would have to contact the BLM for more definite information.
Would my 2015 RAV4 make it up okay?
Yeah, you should be ok in a RAV4. Just know that its a rough road with lots of rocks.
Hello, is the area closed due to the fire?
I think they pretty well have that fire out now, and it is far enough away from the fire area that it didn’t affect the falls anyway.
Would this be accessible for a camper?
If your camper has high clearance and you want to take it over a VERY rough road. I wouldn’t recommend it, but that’s up to you.
Hello – looking at the dispersed camping information for toquerville falls as listed as available. The site says its being worked on. Is there dispersed camping available at Toquerville? Thank you
Yes there is. The dispersed camping rules follow standard BLM rules and requirements.
Is the waterfall area good for swimming right now?
Yes, it is flowing nicely and people have been enjoying the swimming for weeks now.
Se puede acampar?
Yes, open camping is available. If you camp, try to reuse camp sites and fire rings that have already been used to reduce impact on the area there.
Would you recommend a 2×4 attempt this trail, please let me know!
Edguardo, the issue is more about clearance. If you a truck or SUV with clearance, you should be fine. The 4WD just helps make the trip more smooth. Hope this helps!
So…minivans are probably a no go?😏
I wouldn’t recommend it.
Are you guys open?
Toquerville Falls is locate on BLM land and is open to the public unless areas are closed down due to fires or other natural disasters. Right now, it is open.
visited end of summer on somewhat of a whim. Road is not just rough, it is extremely rough. Even 4wd veterans will want to go very slow for the first half, the second half is much more of a standard dirt road. There are a few spots that are a little freaky with drop offs but nothing extreme. I would not even attempt if there was past rain or anything looming that would make the ground even slightly wet. Once to the falls it is a very unique spot. We had fun being there by ourselves(probably pretty rare) and swam for hours. We did jump off the falls into the deepest section, but be aware that testing depth is necessary and even at that we had to “buckle” when hitting the water to keep from injuring our legs or spine. Make sure you take out any trash you bring, maybe even something that someone else left to keep this place clean.
