I really love coming here for walks. The park has easy access for people with wheelchair, strollers, and dogs. Fall is the best time to come because of the wonderful weather and amazing colors. The park also has areas for picnics and there are bathrooms available. I recommend this place for hiking, biking, walks and picnics.

A shaded mountain trail to a rewarding hike to a waterfall. The trail is a bit rocky and steep for kids, but take it slow and you will find a refreshing 30 foot waterfall with beautiful views of Provo canyon. At the base of the falls, the water disappears into the rocky gravel base. Pretty interesting.

Quality picnic tables built for adults. Kids under 5 will struggle to sit at them and eat (we had 4 under 5 with us). The river is close and the walk way was readily accessible. The bathrooms make life easier but no sinks. We spent a couple hours and had a great time.

I love this lesser known hike just about a half mile or so up the Provo River trail. You need to look out for the graffiti building as there are no trailhead signs. Ive been up each of the past three years... this year an avalanche spilled out at the falls making it sketchy to get to the base of the falls.

Provo canyon is absolutely beautiful, though the changes brought on by the highways expansion will always be difficult for me to accept. Having lived in the canyon when it was a sleepy peaceful place. That stated I still find beauty and the upper falls are still awesome, as is Bridal Veil. I just wish people would slow down and take the time to enjoy the canyon, the river and the falls.

I love the upper falls hike. And from here you can take the trail to Vivian park or all the way to the mouth of the canyon. Which I suggest that you do! If youre creative and look around there are like three levels of falls here. And considered very hard to get there, but possible. And beautiful.

Extremely well maintained family recreation spot where a river runs through it. Great for picnicking, bike riding, a fishing and easy to moderate hiking. Highway noises can still be heard from the park but not bad at all.

Beautiful fairly easy waterfall. Saw little children and even up to older adults. Loads of wild flowers this year. Dogs allowed but no poop on the trails. Make sure you bring something to pick it up with if your dog has the urge.

Steep, but a fun challenge. It only took about an hour to hike up to the falls and back. The trail is marked with pink ribbons on trees and pink and purple paint on rocks.

Beautiful park for a picnic. The surrounding mountains are glorious, the river near by is calming and beautiful. The short hike to the Upper Falls is right here across the bridge. Great place to hang out.

Disappointed to discover its now a pay parking lot. The new bridge looks nice and all but as somebody who had come here for years its disheartening to see the change

Review №42

Super fun hike and beautiful falls. Nice that it is not as busy as Bridalveil Falls further down. It was steeper than we were led to believe though we all finished it both ways with ages ranging from 44-3. Not all hikers were in great shape but extremely unfit individuals would have a very hard time making it to the falls.

Theyre currently renovating by adding a new bridge. Theres also Upper Falls just across the river and up the mountain a little ways

One of the less famous of our area parks. Beautiful place for a walk or run, you can sure spot the falls. Peaceful and not crowded.

So crowded. You have to park so far away, which left my elderly Mom in the car. And the trail to the falls has tons of bikers and long board riders who never warn you when they are coming from behind

You now have to pay at this picnic area. If you have a senior pass you dont pay. Its $6 for 3 day pass. I could not find any info on this online. If you go there make sure you read the new sign before you decide to have your picnic. Im not even sure if you can park in your parking lot for free to walk over the bridge to the path, or to fish.

The park is really nice. Good for a day out by the river. Took my family to the upper falls trail. The trail up is not marked. Keep an eye out for the concrete building just around it, thats where the trail up starts. My 4 and 7 year olds made it up. But be cautious, a lot of rocks mark the path a third of the way up the trail.

This is a nice little park. I think that it is maintained by Utah County Gov. There are several picnic tables (6 or 7?). A bit of grass, nice shade trees, and the river runs through it. Several years ago I stopped there and it was dirty and there was garbage everywhere, Recently, however, when I visited it in the fall of 2017, it was really cleaned up and there were new picnic tables.
