Wide Hollow Reservoir

The Wide Hollow Reservoir in Escalante, Utah offers a convenient boat ramp access point for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters. The reservoir was created in 1954 to provide irrigation for the local area. Facilities at the site include a campground, RV park, restrooms, picnic areas, and the boat ramp.

The boat ramp itself is currently closed to motorized boat launching due to low water levels, so non-motorized craft like kayaks and canoes may be the best option. The reservoir can provide a peaceful setting for paddling, with the Escalante Petrified Forest State Park and Canyons of the Escalante nearby for additional exploration. Visitors should use caution and launch at their own risk given the current water conditions. Those seeking a more developed boat launch may want to consider alternatives in the region.
