Before you go

Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest (USFS) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Frequently Asked Questions

No measured height is on record for Battle Creek Falls in the land-manager and survey sources this inventory draws on. We list it without a height rather than estimating one.

The Battle Creek Falls Trail reaches it about 1.6 miles (out-and-back) with roughly 450 feet of elevation gain, rated easy. The nearest town is Pleasant Grove. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest (USFS) for closures and current conditions.

Spring to fall (April-October). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
