This is a starting location for a gentle hiking in the area, and for that it is really great. However, what we used it for was for my son’s wedding venue on one of the bridges just a little ways down the river from the dam. This is a very no-fuss, easy, and beautiful picture spots that is very peaceful and serene. I highly recommend if, like us, you need a last minute spot to get married or have a romantic stroll.

This is a gorgeous part of the river. Saw my first turtle in the Provo River there. Hoping it is not someones pet they just released. Always has ducks and jumping fish...

Walk it, swim it, bike it, fly fish it and just enjoy the scenery all in one location.

This trail is absolutely beautiful and you can pretty much walk as far as you want before turning around.Its very flat and paved, would be a good spot for young kids, and there is a park at the beginning,Make sure to look for cute critters like ducks and butterflies :)

Very interesting. It was part of my hike. No facilities for the little potty monster that always forgets before we leave. Can you fish at the bottom of the dam?

Good pickup point if paddling the river. Free parking. The water gets flat up until the dam, so tubers should exit up by Vivian Park.
