Hurricane is situated between the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area and Zion National Park, off of I-15. This Washington County city’s history began in 1860 when highly-recognized church leader Erastus Snow’s buggy’s roof blew off from the wind. He reportedly stated, “Well that was a hurricane. We’ll name this land Hurricane Hill.” In 1893 during talks of building an irrigation system, the Hurricane Canal Company was born. The 7.5-mile canal took more than a decade, but paved the way for the town’s establishment.
There are many attractions in and around Hurricane. Sand Hollow State Park allows residents to boat on crystal-blue water, hike along the red sandstone terrain, ride all-terrain vehicles through the trails, and camp under a blanket of stars. Green River State Park Golf Course and Wasatch Mountain Golf Course are located within the park.
The festival “Peach Days” is celebrated every Labor Day Weekend in the town square. Food, entertainment, booths, and contests make this event a fun-filled day for tourists and residents alike. Goblin Valley, which is comprised of red, orange, and gold rock formations, has been compared to Mars - and is an exceptional spot for disc golf, mountain biking, and nightly stargazing.
Sky Mountain Golf Course is a spectacular 18-hole golf course near Dixie Springs, in Hurricane.
Dixie Springs, just like the rest of Hurricane, gives residents an outdoorsy Southern Utah lifestyle.
Quail Creek State Park provides excellent year-round camping, picnicking, boating, and fishing.
Sand Hollow Resort is a bike-friendly neighborhood.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
