Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, located in Southern Utah’s Kane County, has the perfect setting for camping, off-highway vehicle riding, photography, hiking or just relaxing and playing in the soft, fine red sand.

North of Kanab, and just 12 miles from US Highway 89, lies a wide-sweeping expanse found nowhere else in the United States. Unique to this area, the colorful sand dunes are a contrast of blue skies, steep red cliffs and outcroppings, in addition to the varied greens of junipers and pinion pines.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes, where off-highway vehicles are allowed in all but two areas, is a favorite place for OHV recreation. Fisher’s ATV World, which airs on The Men’s Channel on satellite TV networks, dedicated an episode to the unique and interesting features found on the Coral Pink Sand Dunes.

Come for an off-road adventure,where you can imagine yourself on a red version of the Sahara Desert! OHVs must be currently registered and equipped with a whip flag for operation in the dunes.

The nature trail/day use area at the end of the boardwalk is closed to riding, and a 250 acre conservation area has been set aside to protect the Tiger Beetle and Milkweed found at Coral Pink Sand Dunes. All of the conservation areas are open for foot travel, and many visitors take nature walks through the park.

Winter activities include sledding and toboggan runs on the snow-covered dunes.

The park offers a 20-unit campground with modern restrooms, hot showers, pull through sites, a sewage dump station, a boardwalk overlook trail and day-use picnic areas.  The visitor center has displays and a gift shop for your information and enjoyment.
