Provo River Falls Trail

The Trail
This is an easy and extremely short 0.2 mile trail. Our elevation data for the trail said there was about a 300 foot elevation change, but appeared to be quite inaccurate, so no elevation graph is included here. The actual elevation change is therefore not known, but most of the trail is not steep. It may even be too short to call a real trail, but it is a lovely place to visit with three beautiful terraced falls visitors can view.

This trail is roughly paved in most places. It follows along the Provo River until it reaches the bottom falls. The trail down to the last falls is a bit steeper than the rest of the trail, and can be slick with water.







Dogs are permitted on this trail, but they must be kept on a leash. There are vault toilets available at the trailhead. There is a $6.00 fee to use any recreational facilities along the Mirror Lake Hwy, including this trail.


Directions
This trail is located in Summit County, Utah near Kamas. To get there from Main Street in Kamas, turn onto Center Street/UT-150/Mirror Lake Scenic Hwy and continue 23.8 miles up this road. The parking area will be on your left and is well labeled. Please note that this road is closed during the winter. Also, know that there is a recreation fee for using any facilities along this road.
