Camping and a Waterfall. Moab, UT

Camping at Ken’s Lake has all of the amenities and accommodations that one c could ask for. Ken’s Lake campground is just 10 miles south of Moab off US 191. This would be a great spot if you choose to travel luxuriously in a larger motor-home. While camping is 15.00 a night (slightly more pricey) , everything you could want is in a short distance. Fishing is permitted on the lake, however motorized vehicles are not. The campsite is also portable to hiking and horseback riding trails. In my opinion though, all of these amenities pale in comparison to the landscape. Ken’s Lake is surrounded by sights of the La Sal Mountain range, the red-rock fins of Moab, but most notably a beautiful waterfall.

When I first was driving into the campground, I couldn’t help but notice the giant waterfall. I thought it was a bit odd that I hadn’t seen it in the past. Later, when taking to a local, I was informed that it may not have been running last time i was in the area being hat sometimes that flow of water is directed into the Colorado.

Nonetheless, it was ever so enjoyable on this trip. On my first hike up to the base, which was just a short easy 1/4 of a mile walk, I noticed there was a little fire pit on the opposite side of the river just under the fall.  I thought “what a great place to cook dinner” and indeed it was. The photo below is a picture I took as the sun was setting and I was just sitting down to eat. Pure serenity. Considering Jeep Week is one of the busiest weeks in Moab, I felt blessed to have my dinner journey to be undisturbed.

The waterfall at Ken’s Lake will always be one of my most treasured Moab memeories
