Fed by a record snowpack in the surrounding mountains, the waterfalls at Gunlock State Park about 15 miles northwest of St. George is flowing again and unleashing a torrent of water and visitors.It’s the third time in the past five years the water from Gunlock Reservoir has cascaded over the dam and spilled onto the cliffside rocks, creating the rare captivating waterfalls that entrance visitors from all over Utah and southern Nevada. On any given day when the falls spring into action, cars overflow the parking lot and line both sides of Gunlock Road leading to the site for a quarter-mile or more. On a weekend in mid-March, hordes of people – some in shorts and T-shirts and sporting flip flops despite the mud and cold – could be seen scrambling up the slick rocks for a better look at the falls.
