Slaughter Creek

Slaughter Creek travels through the Dixie National Forest, along the edges of both Cougar Canyon and Slaughter Creek Wilderness areas, then exits north of Gunlock, Utah. Prepare for a long day on this 40-mile off-road route through a very remote high desert. You can expect to see breathtaking panoramas of rolling hills and unique white sandstone rock formations. You can choose to begin at Enterprise Reservoir and travel down to Gunlock, Utah, or in the warmer months travel up from Gunlock, ending for some camping and swimming at the lake. Either way, you will have a long but rewarding day on the trail.
