Battle Creek Falls

Length of hike: .75 miles to the Watterfall
difficulty: 2 (graveled trail slightly uphill)
Family Friendly:  4/5


Battle Creek Falls is a great little hike, with an swell waterfall less than a mile up the trail. The trail is wide, graveled, and not too steep-though it will get you breathing hard if you're 6 months pregnant like the last time I went.

The trailhead is at Kiwanis park in Pleasant Grove here is the link to it on Google Maps

Once you get to the parking lot above the water reservoir take the road-like trail to the east-(the bridge to the left just goes into Kiwanis park-which does have a seasonal restroom). Just follow the wide trail over a couple small bridges and through the canyon until you can hear the falls- you can take the small footpath to the right to go to the bottom of the falls, or you can stay on the main trail to the left to go to the top of the falls-don't let your kids or dogs get too close to the edge!

Warning: Do not go under the falls when there are people up above, I've seen rocks get knocked down and nearly hit people below


Added bonus: you can rappel here from two sets of anchors, you can also explore a small cave on the trail and the trail does continue past the falls if you're in the mood for a longer hike.
