Kanab Creek is a small stream system flowing through the rugged canyon country of southern Utah and northern Arizona. The creek originates in Kane County, Utah, near the town of Glendale and flows southward through the Vermilion Cliffs area before eventually joining the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. This intermittent waterway flows through dramatically beautiful red rock terrain but presents significant challenges for anglers. The creek system includes both the main Kanab Creek and Upper Kanab Creek, which is actually a separate tributary to the East Fork of the Sevier River system in Utah. While the creek flows through spectacular desert canyon landscapes, fishing opportunities are extremely limited compared to other regional waters.
