The only Private Outdoor Rock Climbing Park in Utah IMPORTANT: All climbers must bring their own climbing equipment. There is no equipment at the property for rent or purchase. Crawdad Canyon is one of the only privately owned, outdoor rock climbing parks in the USA. Our unique climbing park offers much cooler temps, which allows you to climb all day, even on hot days in the desert. This is because our intimate canyon offers loads of shade and always has a cool breeze off the Santa Clara River. Located in Southern Utah, just minutes from St George, we have 234 bolted climbing routes in solid basalt walls, scaling up to 85 feet high. Routes range in difficulty from 5.6 to 5.13, so there’s something for all ages and skill levels. You’ll find brass plaques at the base of each climb, with the name and rating of each climb. We’ve had rock climbers from more than 25 different countries climb our canyon walls here in Veyo! Add rock climbing to your family reunion, company party, or private event! Ask about group discounts. MAKE SURE TO READ THE FOLLOWING: •All of our visitors must sign a liability waiver. You can do this at the canyon or do it right here online: Sign the waiver now! •ALL climbers MUST sign in at the front desk – No exceptions! •Climbers under 18 must have a parent present to sign waiver or will not be allowed to climb •A free map of our climbing areas and a list of climbs can be found at our front desk. We also have a local guidebook available for use. All Rock Climbing and bolts are managed by Southern Utah Climbing Coalition (SUCC). IMPORTANT: All climbers must bring their own climbing equipment. There is no equipment at the property for rent or purchase. Catching crawdads is one of the most popular activities in our canyon! It’s a blast for all ages! There’s no better way to unplug your kids from the digital world and connect with nature. Our river has a much larger population of crawdads because there are tons of small, warm springs flowing into the water. This makes our stretch of the river warmer than normal, which encourages a greater number of crawdads. Bring your own gear or purchase one of our specially assembled Crawdad Catching Kits. We hand-make our own crawdad catching poles, which will surely help you reel in the big ones. Our crawdad catching kits are just $15 and include the following gear: •Crawdad Catching Pole •Crawdad Bucket •Crawdad Net •Crawdad Bait •Crawdads can be caught year-round, yet they are more active and easier to catch in the spring, summer, and fall. We are a Catch-and-Release property. We ask our visitors to leave all crawdads in the river since they won’t survive outside of their natural habitat. Thank you! Crawdads are friendly creatures, yet their pinchers can grab your fingers so be careful!
