Battle Creek Falls, Pleasant Grove, Utah

Hike # 5 in my waterfall tour!

Battle Creek Falls

Pleasant Grove, Utah

This is a very family friendly trail that leads to a double 50' waterfall.  The waterfall runs best in the spring, although it can be seen all year round.  The right fall was much weaker during this hike in September.

  This is really a great trail for a variety of user groups.  This trail is wide and was partial to mostly shaded at around noon.  There was also a stream all the way up to the falls, making this a great quick dog friendly hike.  When you get to the trail head, do not go straight over the bridge to Kiwanis Park.  Instead, take that right before the “bridge” at the parking lot to reach the trail.  

hen the trail begins to fork at about .70 miles, straight will be a steep incline to the top of the falls, while a right will take you to the bottom of the falls.  This is a great spot to relax and enjoy the beautiful views and cool waterfall spray.  This trail is also open to bikers and horses so be courteous and share the trail.  Vaulted toilets can be found in Kiwanis Park.  This is a very popular family friendly trail so expect to share the trail with a lot of families.  Make sure you stop and take in the view of Utah Lake across the way from the trailhead.
