Provo River Falls - Utah Outdoor Activities

The Provo River Falls is a beautiful family destination just off the Mirror Lake highway. It is a series of waterfalls on the Upper Provo River and one of the most popular stops along the way to Mirror Lake and beyond. To get to the Provo Falls, travel the Mirror Lake Highway for approximately 24 miles. The parking area offers several spaces, however, be prepared if you plan on visiting the falls on a weekend, because you may have to wait a little while for a parking spot, but if you don’t mind walking there is additional parking along the highway. From the parking area there is a paved path that leads to a railed observation point that overlooks the upper falls. This vantage point provides a view of the first of many tiered water falls. The way the river has craved the rock into almost a stair like feature is an amazing example of the forces the river has played on the rock face for thousands of years. For those who are a little more adventurous, they can take a well traveled dirt trail to get up closer to the lower portion of the falls. Please be aware this trail will require scrambling down a step like rock face and there is no railing to hang on to or grab if you happen to stumble. On our visit, we saw several people wading in the lower pools of the falls, sitting and enjoying the scenery while relaxing to the sound of the water and having a picnic on the water's edge. If you are searching for an outdoor activity the whole family will enjoy or a place for a romantic date, the Provo River Falls is an excellent location to visit. There are many activities to be enjoyed at the falls, and all along the Mirror Lake Highway. When packing and getting ready for your venture, please remember the Provo Falls is located in the Uinta Mountains and the weather can change at any given time. Also, you may want to bring along a jacket because the temperature between the valley and the high mountain elevation can be a drastic difference. Keep in mind when using the recreational facilities anywhere along the Mirror Lake Highway there is a $6.00 fee for up to 3 days of usage.
