This is a hidden gem in a Utah County. Hikes and restrooms up the canyon. Rapid place to ride a mountain bike. A picnic table with a view that only a helicopter should be able to enjoy. And nightly sunsets you have to experience to believe. Just when I don’t think it can get any better, someone left small paintings around just Incase someone else needed a little bit extra that day. I am thankful I am alive because of places like this. Quiet and unassuming, serene yet bold, and exotically enchanting but close by.

Cool disc course, very hilly and not super good for new players. Definitely doable for newbies though. Amazing views, nice trails, well maintained. I went on a very nice weather Saturday and there werent too many people either. Definitely coming back.

Its way different than it was growing up as a child down the street. Cleaner. No homeless people in the old cement foundations at the mouth of the canyon. Facilities. There are some positives. Negatives are there are people there more. They have designed some bike trails and tamed it. Thats less fun. But provo is growing so i suppose it will happen.

Beautiful view ️ Ive never seen any cougars here

Very calm and peaceful. Not nearly as crowded as neighboring Rock Canyon or Y mountain. Beautiful view of the valley and mountains. Great hiking and walking from here.

Good mid-level hiking trail. Excellent view of the valley.

I love how many different trails there are here! Beautiful views!

This is a great place to go hiking, backpacking, or even mountain biking. It has great access to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.

This is an underrated canyon so it is not visited nearly as much as its crowded cousin, Rock canyon. The trail up the canyon is very steep but is surrounded by a rugged beauty of soaring, mostly inaccessible peaks. The trail to the right is nice for a short walk (but fades off from construction & does not continue after a while). The trail to the left is Bonneville shoreline trail and is a well-maintained trail leading to the start of the Y-trail.

Easy access, paved parking lot and restroom at trail head. First part of trail (a mile or so) is basically a rocky road, but keep climbing and it becomes more of a trail. It is steep: We gained 2900 ft of elevation in ~3 miles. It was still early May, so there was still quite a bit of snow up at the top and we couldnt make the connection over to an adjacent trail.This is a hiking trail. We were hoping to find more of a running trail, but youre not going to run much of this trail, at least not up. We could only run about 1/3 of the way, I think youd have to be an ultra-runner to run the whole way up. Once you get back up in there, it feels like a different world, like youre hundreds of miles from civilization. Great views!

We had a picnic here for a friend’s birthday. Beautiful views, plenty of parking!

Beautiful place! Spent many sunsets here with good friends. Hidden gem of Provo

Beautiful trail! There are some steep inclines, so you get a good workout.

This is the place to go if you want a beautiful, challenging or leisurely hike with out big crowds.

This park is a beautiful addition to Provos park system. It provides access to yet another scenic vista overlooking Utah Valley, as well as prime hiking trails up Slate Canyon and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. This park did not exist in my youth, but Im glad it is here now to share with my kids.

Great park. Just beware of cougars

This place has one of the best views of Utah Valley, especially at night or when it snows. There are some tables at the entrance and a pavilion for group events or just a nice place to sit on your own. It’s a great place to think, or chat with friends. There are also trails which can be used for walking, hiking, or running.

Many different trails to take off on. Ive taken my kids on three of them now and we have more we want to explore. Love it during this pandemic.

Great park, closed for renovations.

Great spot to get outdoors. Plenty of hiking trails.

Nice quiet and out of thw way. Good hiking as well

Beautiful! This was an excellent hike, a hidden gem!

Great off road fun with my love

The Bonneville Shoreline Trail is the perfect place for a short easy hike. From the slate canyon parking lot its about 2 miles to the Y parking lot. There are bees along the trail and theres a beehive in one of the gates you pass through on the trail. If youre allergic to bees I recommend bringing your EpiPen, we always do. Also, watch out for snakes. Ive seen snakes on this trail three days in a row this week Great view of the valley though.The Slate Canyon trail is pretty steep at beginning. It is gorgeous in spring and early summer but can get really hot the later you go in the year. Its a really nice trail for hiking, but I wouldnt recommend going mountain biking here just because of how steep it is and all of the loose rocks, there are much more enjoyable places to go.

Love running from that place

Personally I love running or hiking up Slate canyon. Its pretty and less crowded than many trails in the area

Incredible view, awesome series of trails heading up the mountain or along the hill. Beautiful!

Cougarville 1star not recommended

Great canyons for some hiking- only bummer is in winter they close the parking lot, so you have to hike in a little and it limits street parking. But great place to hike

I can only speak for the biking trails, but it has a great view and the bike trails are fun and adventurous:)

Decent but small dh trail. Dirtbike areas to the south are pretty good.

Its quite gorgeous up there. Looking out over the valley during sunset and doing some meditation yields a bit of much needed tranquility.

It was a good hike fun too hike with friend and family and girlfriend

Good place for quick rips!

Great hikes and mountain biking!!! Not a bad view either!!

Great covered picnic bench and a awesome view.

Although closed for the season, beautiful hilly area to go and run up some very tall hills. Had one of the hardest workouts of my life right next to it. Beautiful place to watch the sunsets and go on hikes. Keep in mind it is considerably higher than the valley, and you have lesser oxygen. Keep enough water while hiking as it can get very warm.

This place is easy to get to and had a beautiful view! It is perfect for watching sunsets. :)

Nothing too special, but this is a nice place to go and take walks, runs or walk a dog. You can also get a nice view of the valley from the trails. Just be careful if you come here alone at night because Ive seen some not so friendly looking people lurking around after dark.

Awesome park with a beautiful view of the valley. There is a wheelchair accessible pavilion which is a perfect place to watch the sunset for those who arent hiking inclined. For those who do love hiking you can go three routes. I often find myself going out and back because going the full loop is pretty long and difficult.

Its a great place to watch the sunset with a more serious relationship. This location has bathrooms, trails, and parking. Be sure to come early if you are attempting to watch the sunset. Recommend visiting to hike and explore. Fun place to bring friends. Hikes are moderate in difficulty. The trails are muddy in the weather.

It was freakin awesome,

Amazing place i love the view

Nice place to hike, bike, meditate with views of the valley.

Nice view of the city...

I love Slate canyon! It is always a great place to go hike with family and friends.

This place was very unique and interesting compared to a lot of Provo its great at night and you can see the whole valley. Love the ease of access its kinda steep but paved so easily drivable so thats a plus would recommend for anything from a place to think to a great place for a date

Great place to play disk golf! BYOD (bring your own disks).

The canyon is awesome,it I wouldnt really call this a park.

Great Trailhead for hikes in different directions. And if youre a off-road biker a fun trail. Were lucky to have in our area

Great park to bring your family.

It was a great view!

Neat canyon with hiking opportunities that give good looks over Provo and Utah Lake

Beautiful view of utah lake and its a very steep hike, so its a great workout

Beautiful

Very nice family oriented park. The new bike trail is both exciting and scary. Located on the benches of Provo the view overlooking the valley is is Incredible. The sunsets as well as the rising moons are an extra perk.

Great view!

Great trail!

The trails are beautiful and lined with places the contain useful information about the local plant and wild life there.

I go hiking up here, it’s always a beautiful view!

This is where I come when I need a break from school and work but dont want to drive anywhere. Trails are well kept and there has always been parking

Lots of fun! Great place for kids, older people, dogs and anyone who enjoys the outdoors. There is a long hike if you go directly up the crack in the mountain which is very beautiful but can be intense for beginners. The bonniville shoreline trail is much easier. A breathtaking view of all Utah county will be visible from beginning to end! From the parking lot its left and you walk along the fault line. The trail ends at the parking lot to the Y on the mountain side. You could continue your hike up to the Y.

Beautiful hike!!

I never knew that this park was here until I stumbled across it one day, awesome views of Utah Valley!

Nice place for a hike.

Awesome spot for an amazing views at day or at sunset.

Plenty of parking and a great place to hike, bike, and enjoy nature. The mountain bike mini course is also super fun! A bit short, but very fun.

Theres a camode but no water for refilling water bottles.

Dog friendly. Several trails from beginners to intense workouts. I hike there everyday and have lost 50lbs doing it.

This place is always such a great look out of the valley. Its a good place to go on a moderate hike.

Beautiful hike! Ive never seen more than three or four people on the trail! There is a ton of elevation gain pretty quickly though, so it can be pretty intense.

Fun to hike and walk! Beautiful sunsets!

Pretty hiking up canyon. Great view of the mountains and city. Nice covered pavilion. A few picknick tables.

This is a very minimal impact park. A small pavilion and lots of mountain bike and running trials. Great place to be outdoors.There are bathrooms but they are often closed or out of supplies.

Located on Provo easy bench, its a nice place to get away and the views overlooking Utah county are incredible

Fun hikes and a great downhill mountain bike park. The bike course is not for the beginning rider, think teen to adult. Plenty of parking.

Love going here​ because its so close, and not many people go. Hiking the trails are fun even if I just go for a few minutes or on a short jog.

Great hike without all the crowds (for now). Bathrooms are available at the parking lots by the trail head. Pavilion at the parking lots for a nice view while you eat. Pokemon Go gym at the entrance sign.

Beautiful sunset location

Fun place to hike. It can get busy when travelers come here but that doesnt ruin the enjoyment for me cause the sights are beautiful and the mountain air is refreshing.

Beautiful scenery high quality pavilion. Some good hikes and a new mountain biking trail which is fun but short, so bring a car and an extra buddy to taxi you up and down the hill if you want to ride more than once.

Easy access onto the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, great views of Utah Lake, Provo City and from the trail it self Utah County. Anytime of the daylight is great to go up.

Beautiful place to go and just gather your thoughts!

Nice trailhead. No water available. Usually there arent many people there.

Beautiful incline hike with gorgeous views of the valley and mountains.

Amazing

Slate Canyon Park is rather small currently, but now has a paved parking lot, pavilion and seating and official trailhead for Slate Canyon. The views of the city are spectacular, especially at Sunset. As far as I know, there isnt a grassy green space yet, but its a huge improvement over the side of the road that used to be the starting place for adventures up Slate Canyon.

Well maintained, great view, and good hiking trails. My kids love it.

Beautiful park. Hiked the trail with my friends and dogs. I didnt see a sign that said no dogs so I assumed dogs were ok. They loved it too. But the weather started pouring down so we didnt get up very far. But it was really cool, even with it being wet and cloudy that day.

Yeetyeet love that place

Love the viewa

Lots of parking at the trailhead. Has a bathroom and a picnic table. Trail is pretty wide at the start and rocky

The new downhill bike course is a welcome addition. Im really looking forward to more development here in the years to come

Now that the park has been revamped, I only have 5 stars to give!

Love this trail, 5 minutes from my house. Not the easiest but has excellent views.

I went to the disc golf course there. Its an awesome course!

Beautiful spot to hike or picnic or enjoy a sunset!

Beautiful place, but I wish they hadnt developed it.

Great park if youre looking to get out of the city and enjoy some of that canyon outdoors!

Clean restrooms and ample parking. Trails not good for physically challenged, but a nice place to park and take in the view of Utah Lake and Provo surrounding areas.
