Kanarra Falls is a series of cascades inside a narrow red-rock slot canyon on Kanarra Creek near Kanarraville, just south of Cedar City. The wet hike requires wading through the creek and scaling a roughly 20-foot ladder at the first major waterfall; a paid permit is required and daily numbers are capped.
Its water comes from Kanarra Creek. You'll find it in Iron, Utah. It is protected within Town of Kanarraville / BLM.
This is a moderate hike waterfall: a longer day hike, roughly one to several miles each way. Plan for a moderate hike; sturdy shoes, water, and a little time on the trail are worth bringing. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 3.8 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Kanarraville, the closest town.
When to go: late spring to early fall. Like most waterfalls, Kanarra Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
