Quail Creek Lakeside Trail East Side
The Lakeside Trail is a route that -- one day -- go all the way around Quail Creek Lake. This portion along the southwest side is 2.1 miles and is intermediate in technical requirement with some mild climbing. (The Quail Creek trail on the lake's west side will also be part of this planned full Lakeside trail.)

Getting there:
On I-15 about 10 miles north of St. George, take the Hurricane (US-9) exit eastbound. Drive 2.6 miles. After descending part-way down the hill, turn left toward Quail Creek at the light (onto State Road 318). Drive another 0.4 miles north. When you see the chain-link fence of the water treatment facility, turn right onto the road heading east along the fence. (You're following the signs for the Scout Camp.) As you reach the fence corner, turn left (north) to continue along the fence. And at the next fence corner near the dam, turn right (east). Now stay straight as you dip through the old scar from the 1989 dam failure. Just as you're beginning to climb the hill, turn into the small rough parking area on the left (north) side of the road. The trail is at the northwest corner (unmarked in December 2016). If you don't see it, pedal up the road 200 feet to the Overlook trail, which will join Lakeside in about 100 yards.
Quail Overlook trailhead:  Continue east on the road and drive up to the top of the little hill. Turn left into the Quail Overlook parking area.
