Camp at Kens Lake Campground
Moab, Utah
4.0
Ken's Lake is an excellent location for peace and quiet. It is operated by the Bureau of Land Management and you can register on site or the reservation system at Recreation.gov. There are three group sites and 30 tent sites so relatively small. Faux Waterfall is within walking distance and a nice place to explore.

Explore Faux Falls
Moab, Utah
1 mi
/ 200 ft gain
Faux Falls is located near the Ken's Lake campground off Route 191, 20 minutes south of Moab. When I was there it was during several days of thunderstorms. The waterfall was really gushing. Not sure how much water is running when there hasn't been rain in a while.
The falls can be seen from the campground. Follow a dirt road that leads right the base of the falls but you cannot drive this sect...
Power Dam

2.19 mi
/ 505 ft gain
This is a great little swimming hole spot in Moab. A lot of locals will call it The Power Dam. It's just a short easy 1.5-mile hike up the canyon to a natural swimming pool where you can swim and hang out. This is a perfect little spot to check out in Moab while visiting the great national parks.
Although cliff jumping may look appealing, the water is pretty shallow, so stay safe and avoid ju...
Mountain Bike the Pipe Dream Trail in Moab
Moab, Utah
6 mi
/ 730 ft gain
There are multiple trailheads to access the Pipe Dream trail in Moab. This time we chose to start at the Jackson Street parking area and rode the pipeline trail south for approximately 3-miles. This section of trail is a 2-track road that follows, you guessed it, the gas pipeline. It climbs around 730 feet with a punchy climb within the first 1/4 mile.
At the Hidden Valley Trailhead, you'll tu...
Drive Fins & Things
Moab, Utah
5.0
9.4 mi
/ 900 ft gain
Fins & Things is a 9.4 mile classic Moab ATV / 4WD trail rated 5 by the Red Rock Four-Wheelers. It is steep, has great traction, some fantastic slalom cutes and of course, glorious views of the Moab redrock scenery.
The one-way trail is broken into three sections and begins at campsite E-6 in the E campground, roughly 2 miles from the Sand Flats Recreation Area entrance station.

Camp at Sand Flats Recreation Area in Moab

3.0
The rock domes and slickrock around the campsites provide fun for young and old to scramble on, or simply enjoy the sunrise or sunset.
Located just outside of the town of Moab Utah is the Sand Flats Recreation Area. The area is managed jointly by the Bureau of Land Management and Grand County Utah so State and Federal Park passes are not accepted.
