Duck Creek Village is in the middle of southern Utah’s mountains
Duck Creek Village offers rugged, mountainous Kane County living on the edge of Dixie National Forest. Rustic cabins and luxury second homes hide away in woodsy communities high up on Cedar Mountain, within minutes of hiking and snowmobile trails leading to high overlooks and gushing waterfalls. The people who live here, seasonally or year-round, likely visited a campground or cabin community once, before falling deeply in love with the village’s access to adventurous recreation and scenic mountain views. Hours from big cities, Duck Creek Village is a place where you can leave the noise behind and get lost in the natural beauty and resort-style recreation hubs that define southern Utah.

Surrounded by places to fish, swim, hike and snowmobile nearby
“Duck Creek Village is your gateway to being associated with nature,” Barsness says. “It’s trail-riding, fishing, cross-country skiing, bird watching, nature, photography – just going and getting out in the woods.” You might head out with your own gear or stop by one of several rental and guide businesses in the village.

A haven for second homeowners seeking four seasons of fun
“I’d say the majority of people are buying second homes, coming from California, Nevada, Arizona and all the surrounding states,” Barsness says. “People come all year; we have people specifically looking for snowmobile trails and snowshoeing. The change of leaves is beautiful in the fall. People come from big cities that don’t necessarily have all four seasons.” Through freezing winters, when you’re not out enjoying the cold, you’ll want to make sure your car is outfitted for snowy road conditions or ride the snowmobile around instead.
Brian Head Resort offers more than just epic ski slopes—it’s also home to a network of thrilling mountain bike trails, making it a year-round destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
Most properties in Duck Creek Village offer generous land, giving residents the space to unwind and embrace a slower, more peaceful pace of life.
