Massive Flooding! Gunlock Reservoir in Utah Overflows!

These videos were taken March 15, 2023
Check the park website for updates!‼️
--------------------------------------
Gunlock Reservoir State Park is located near St. George Utah.
These amazing waterfalls only happen when there is a lot of spring runoff and this runoff has been very high this year! I visited this place back in April 2020 and have some comparisons at the end of the video, so make sure to watch until the end!
We stayed for a few hours getting pictures and videos and on the way home we found that the road was blocked due to flooding.
If you do plan to visit Gunlock, make sure to check current road/lake conditions. Roads may be closed!! They were closed the night we visited! Or even the park itself might be closed!
Please be careful around the falls! Every year there are waterfalls, people are injured! Don’t get too close to the waterfalls especially when they are this strong! Do not leave your trash (pick up some while you're there if you can too). A small community lives at Gunlock so please be respectful of them.
This is a fee area so make sure you bring cash or you can pay online before you go.

This is Utah! Some of the most beautiful scenery on earth.

Sure.. Utah.... The Earth is quite big you know.. Utah is irrelevant.

What a sight for sore eyes, and you scored it perfectly with that beautiful song. What absolutely epic scenery you filmed perfectly, and eloquently. Thank You So Much, for always making me smile!

[@catezaida8081]

Utah is one of the most beautiful states I have ever visited. So diverse, but my favorite place will always be Bryce Canyon. It is just like walking into a land of fairy tale castles. Thank you for sharing this video!

[@oriraykai3610]

Check out Goblin State Park sometime. Surreal. Hard to believe it's all natural.

[@yupok318]

Zion... no Capitol Reef........no Canyonlands.... Arches.. Rt 12? rt 128...? Utah is the best!!!!!

[@garygatto3410]

Yes, I have been to Bryce and Zion and they are truly God’s work of art

[@theoztreecrasher2647]

@@garygatto3410 Sorry but no God, Gods, Devils or other creations of the stunted human mind had anything to do with the creation of these natural wonders. The geological processes involved in their formation have been easily understood and described ever since a few thinking individuals got off the religious ratbaggery! 😱🙄

[@donb7113]

I’m from Utah and I agree, Bryce Canyon is amazing. I’ve been all over the northern hemisphere in the Air Force, and I do believe Utah has the most diverse natural beauty anywhere.

[@nosretapniai]

Looks natural. Once dam overflowed you got the real flow! All the falls and rivers followed well water worn paths.

[@coconutfleetsleeper5717]

Wow, what an beautiful water flow!♡♡♡

[@63angel]

I have driven out there many times to take pictures of the water coming down the red cliffs. I live in STGU so it's only a 20-30 minute drive. There's so many beautiful areas around Gunlock. I love taking pictures out there and in Snow Canyon. My husband knows that if I take my camera with me, I'll probably be gone awhile. This is a beautiful video.

[@pewpewpewAK47]

I live in Veyo so I go there once in a while also.

[@63angel]

@@pewpewpewAK47 My husband and I also lived in Veyo before we moved back to St. George. I would go through Gunlock if I wanted to take pictures or just thing, listen to music and drive for no particular reason. I told my husband that we should go to Gunlock and on the way home, we can take the road to Veyo and pick up my favorite pie (sour cream and lemon) at Veyo Pies. Usually I go alone since he likes to do whatever we wanted or needed and go back home. Even though it takes longer to get home, I still like doing that. Thank you for sharing your video. I appreciate it

[@switza1]

This is so amazing & the louder creek flow was incredibly satisfying to listen to!

Beautiful scenery always amazing to see water flowing like that especially over beautiful red rocks. water is the lifeblood of the Earth. Glad to hear that it's flowing into lake Mead

[@Stan_Rich]

Terrific Vid! Nice job (guitar & natural falls) capturing Nature’s Way to help Lake Meade replenish the water so critically needed.

I hope and pray that all the Lakes and Reservoirs in the Western States can be filled back up this year!

[@originalmamagrizzly2478]

[@kingpetra6886]

The rain and snow they got makes up about one half of what was lost over the last ten years.; that seems to be the consensus. It's a start,a good one too. Periods of wet and dry are the norm.

[@a.boss.__09]

Amén 🙏🏻

[@henriklarsson5221]

Some pray for downfall and the ones who got the snow prayed for it to go away after being stuck in weeks. I do wonder what God thinks of the mixed messages...

[@KayInMaine]

Everything goes through cycles. Our bodies, the weather, the climate, the earth, animals, and the universe. It will heat up again, then cool down in Fall, and winter will bring snow to the mountains once again to replenish the rivers in the spring.

[@jayesouthworth]

We've been saying that here too "it's just a little creek that turned into a raging river!" No complaints, we haven't experienced rain in a long time. I enjoy your videos.

[@zalix512]

What good is the extra rain if it is not captured?
