    This is a 3.4 mile out and back trail, located around 30 minutes outside of heber. It was a beautiful drive. After you turn on the road that will get you to the parking lot, it is a windy road with lots of switchbacks. This was an absolutely stunning trail. It truly felt like a walk in the woods. So many beautiful trees. Wildflowers are blooming. Trail was dry and clearly marked. The falls were absolutely stunning right now There is a large parking lot. You will need $6 cash to pay for the day use. Though the $6 does give you up to 3 days to go and hike in the area. On a tuesday afternoon there was only a handful of people out and about utilizing the trail.

    Stewart Falls is a terrific hike in Provo Canyon to a spectacular 200+ foot waterfall! We have hiked Stewart Falls numerous times and always enjoyed visiting. It's frequently crowded in the summer, so it's best to hike earlier in the morning to avoid the crowds. Hikers, especially kids, often play in the stream and under the waterfall. The water is freezing but refreshing on a hot summer's day. Be cautious of rock fall because there's a lot of loose rock surrounding Stewart Falls. Remember your Ten Essentials (navigation, headlamp, sun protection, first aid, knife, fire, shelter, food and water, and extra clothing) and go out and enjoy this spectacular hike.

    If you want to drive up a beautiful canyon, to a 4 mile (RT) family/dog friendly trail, to see the beauty of the autumn leaves (before they start falling), that ends in a spectacular waterfall, this is the trail for you IF... 1. You don't mind limited parking. 2. Crowed trail 3. Too many dogs and lots of dogs off leash. 4. Dry and dusty 5. Very Noisy 6. Lots of Sun 7. Buggy 8. Rocky There is a small size parking lot right at the trailhead that is shared with the trailhead for Mount Timpanogos Trail from Aspen Grove. There is a $6.00 fee or you can park on the street for free. Stewart Falls is one of the most scenic and photogenic waterfalls in Utah County. The falls have two tiers and is over 200 feet tall. We just hiked to the lower falls which most people do. If you are adventurous, I would hike up to the top. It is a moderate rocky hike through a beautiful forest on the east side of Mt Timpanogos. Moderate description is accurate, with a steady elevation gain. There are lookout spots to get a majestic view of the canyon, and right now there is a bounty of magnificent fall colors. So many people, lots of families with small children, and dogs. Lots of dogs. With so many people, and dogs the trail was dusty. I had to keep pulling back from the people in front of me, because the dirt was so dry it kicked up on me. Then when I stayed back, I had the people that were on my heels. So I either breathed in the dirt, or had to keep pulling off the trail to let other faster hikers pass me. The trail is mostly single file. There are some spots where it is wider for two people to walk side by side, but it's mostly a single file trail. For some reason Sundance Ski Resort decided to hire a helicopter to help with maintenance today! I'm not kidding, what would have been a peaceful, majestic, amazing hike was filled the WHOLE 4 MILES of hearing the helicopter whirling around. It was LOUD. At first we thought it was a rescue, but the closer we got to the falls, you could see that they were using the helicopter to transport large items up the mountain. Between the helicopter whirling around, and adults hiking this trail with their music blasting, this is not a peaceful hike. There are some shady spots that we took advantage of, and took several breaks. Once the sun came out it was HOT. Bugs were starting to bite when we were coming down off the trail. The Falls: The falls were great today. With the drought going on, I wasn't expecting much of a waterfall, but they were fantastic, and crowed. So, if you are wanting to get your Instagram photo, you're going to have to wait a long while for people to move out of the way. WOW is all I kept saying when we left the parking lot, and started driving down the canyon. It was bumper to bumper to bumper to bumper traffic. I've never seen anything like it in our canyons before, except around ski season. The line of cars was all the way down to the stop sign, and onto the highway. Even the highway had bumper to bumper cars trying to turn onto the road up to Sundance. Good luck trying to find parking.

    Waterfalls and a Dragonfly!

    This a great trail for the entire family! Enjoy all the beauty as you make your way to the gorgeous Stewart Falls! Aka, the most scenic and photogenic waterfalls in northern Utah! It's rated "moderate" and is approximately 3.5 miles round trip. There is a section that is a little steep so tread lightly. Otherwise the majority is pretty easy. Most of the trail is in the sun...the real treat is when you head into the shaded and enchanted forest area of Mt Timpanogos! You'll even find a picnic table nestled in there! A great place to take a water break and eat some snacks. If you're lucky you may even be greeted by a squirrel or two! They seem to know that spot pretty well. ;-) Best time to go is early spring to mid-fall, but it's also an awesome place to snowshoe to the falls in the winter! Be Happy Outside!

    This trail was the perfect amount of shade and sun. The day was not too hot and there was a cool breeze come in through the trees. There was an area where you had to step over many a downed tree. It looks like there had been an avalanche there during the winter. Nothing a little toddler could not quickly maneuver. We went on a Tuesday and I was surprised at how many people were there. The trail was clean. I only saw a handful of people with dogs, that were all on leash. The falls were beautiful and you could feel the mist as soon as you come around the corner to the falls. It was heavenly after the hike. There was a trail that took you really close to the falls almost right inside it. My aunt was not feeling adventurous so we did not get too close. There were not tons of wildflowers on this hike or butterflies. Lots of ferns and other vegetation that covered the ground. There were a few areas where there were some bushes with thorns. I saw moms making sure the kids did not go near them because they had sharp thorns on them. We saw two brown snakes while we were there slither across the trail. Which got some squeals from the teenagers behind us. We also saw a baby deer right at the trail head. Awwww Closer to the falls I saw caterpillar sacks in some of the bushes.

    I love Stewart falls! The hike round trip is little less than 4 miles and fairly easy! Kid and dog friendly! Most bigger dogs were on a leash and gratefully people pick up after their pets! You might see soiled bags hanging from trees, but they will pick it up on their way back out. The waterfall is amazing! We saw group of people rappelling down the waterfall! They have all the fancy equipment, so it safe to watch! Not too many wildflowers compared to other trails, but there are picture worthy! Definitely coming back again before the season ends!

    Looking for things/places to go to due to covid and came across This place and it's so beautiful! So amazing! Will be my new hiking place! Already been here 3 times! Make sure to bring the right shoes and clothing. But this place is definitely a place to take great selfies!

    Dog friendly clean great shade in parts & full sun too. It was such a treat, all ages can do it. $6.00 fee for parking for US Forestry but I believe it's good for 3 days at all hikes in the area.

    My piece of heaven

    The beauty of Utah never ceases to amaze me. I love this hike, I've done it a few times now and the ending never fails to disappoint. The trail itself I would consider fairly easy. It has ups and downs and definitely rocky terrain throughout most of the trail. Keep going though, the end is a pure misty delight! To enter the trail follow the mount timpanogas signs. This particular trail is to the left of the timpanogas trail and is labeled "Stewart Cascades" It's just an all around great hike for beginners and those even advanced. There is something about the beauty of Sundance and breathing in the pines and lilac this time of year. It is pure nourishment for the soul and body. This is the perfect 3 hour hike and will give any level of hiker an enjoyable afternoon. Pack a lunch and stay a while...

    I've decided that I love Provo Canyon and all the hikes it contains. The hike to Stewart Falls is no exception. Just short of 3.5 miles round trip with a small elevation gain, I would categorize this hike as "easy" in warmer weather, and "moderate" if there is still traces of snow or rain. We hiked through a misty rain shower with a cloud break when we finally reached the falls and sunshine for the hike back. The rain left some small puddles our dogs enjoyed splashing through and some slick rocks, so be careful not to go unprepared. Sneakers would be just fine for dryer seasons, but hiking boots are a must this time of year. Not Birkenstock sandals like the one couple we saw on our way down yesterday! The trailhead can be tricky to spot. A free parking lot is shared with the Mt. Timpanogos Trailhead, with Stewart Falls starting to the left of the parking lot and Mt. Timp starting to the right (facing the mountain). Follow signs for "Stewart Falls."

    This trail was perfect! The water fall at the end was amazing. I had a great time with my friend and it's a perfect hike for people of any age. A little rocky at some parts so be aware of that but it was great!

    Just completed the 4 mile hike that took us 1 hour and 40 minutes round trip. It was beautiful with lots of snow still on the ground. My 10lb Shih-tzu even loved it. Highly recommend it!

    What a stunning campground! So many beautiful sites, and so close to SLC! It made for a great…read morestaycation for my husband and I. We had site 64, which was at the very end of the campground in a small loop with bathrooms in the middle. There were 3 sites in the area, and our site was extremely private due to the trees and because you have to go down a set of stairs to reach the table and fire pit. We parked our trailer at the top, which ended up being great, but I'm not sure if the site has a tent pad or not. Our site was tucked among the trees and had hiking trails leading in multiple directions behind it. It was clean, but the bathroom was full of those gross sewer flies (which maybe can't be helped?). The sound of the flowing river was extremely soothing and even drowned out the sounds from our [super drunk] neighbors. I'd highly recommend checking out the pictures of each site on the recreation.gov website. There are many beautiful and private sites, but many that weren't as private or level (if that matters to you). I'd also recommend booking as soon as the reservation window opens, which I think is in January, for the best sites and dates. The campground is almost always completely full as you get closer to the summer months. This is my new favorite spot for sure, can't wait to return next year!

We stayed in #8 for a cab over camper and we towed a bike so plenty of room on asphalt very level too. The table and fire pit area were cemented with easy access to put up our portable tent shaded area which came in handy when it rained. Our family live in Utah and they came up the week we stayed there since it was only a half hour drive from where they live for evening campfires and BBQ too. Quiet, pretty, warm, friendly campers. The outhouses look nice on the outside but our smelly overall. No dumpstations up there either. Made reservations a head of time which was nice guaranteed our spot since we traveled far too so can book online as well it was busy there. Overall nice place!

Current Creek campground is a large place with 4 loops. My favorite is D loop because it's closest to the lake. Bathrooms have flush toilets but no showers. Each camp site has a picnic table, grill, fire pit and concrete pad. The camp host station sells ice, firewood and some bare essentials. The star of the show is the lake. Usually you'll find me sitting on the shore waiting for a fish to bite. I've caught rainbows and tiger trout. But even if you don't catch anything the views are spectacular. If you should get lucky and decide to keep your catch there is a fish cleaning station by the boat ramp. Directions, there are 3 ways to get there all involve a bit of graded dirt road. You can take hwy 40 to the Current Creek Road and drive up next to the river, then around the lake. Next option is to turn off hwy 40 at the chicken creek area and take FS road #82. The turn is just before the UDOT facility. Lastly you can take center street from Heber past the Timber Lakes community. There is no cell phone service at the lake or campground. :)
