Panguitch Utah Attractions

Southern Utah offers the highest concentration of scenic natural wonders in America. National Parks and monuments dot the surrounding landscape. Panguitch is situated right in the middle of it all, which is why the city is known as the “Center of Scenic Utah.” Here are just a few of the reasons people come to Panguitch.

Panguitch Lake:

Panguitch Lake is a natural 1,250 acre lake surrounded by forests and lava flows. The Paiute Indians appropriately named it Panguitch, which means "BIG FISH." Teaming with rainbow, brook, cutthroat, and brown trout the lake is a popular fishing spot year round. There are two public boat ramps and a fish cleaning station. Deer and elk can usually be seen in the early morning hours or late afternoons.

Bryce Canyon:

Bryce Canyon transcends 2000 feet (650 m) of elevation and exists in three distinct climatic zones: spruce/fir forest, Ponderosa Pine forest, and Pinyon Pine/juniper forest. This diversity lends to the natural wonder of Bryce. The diverse flora and fauna, coupled with hiking, camping and horseback riding draw visitors from all over the world.

Snowshoe Hikes:

Bryce Canyon offers snowshoe hikes around the Bryce Canyon rim. Guided hikes by park rangers are offered weekly if there is enough snow, and the snow shoes are provided! Contact Bryce Canyon National Park for details or check rates and availability with us."

Grand Staircase-Escalante National Park:

Divided into three regions, The Canyons of Escalante, The Grand Staircase and the Kaiparowits Plateau, the park abounds with recreational opportunities. Escalante Park is the perfect place to experience the awesome vastness and rugged beauty of Southern Utah.
