I didn't end up completing the very last section because I was a little too nervous about using the rope to climb along the side of the rocks. However, that obstacle is near the end of the trail, so I was still able to experience most of the hike and felt like I got the full beauty of the area. Even without finishing the final portion, I would definitely recommend this trail. Just be prepared for a little bit of scrambling and the rope section if you plan to complete it!

You can use your national park pass to avoid the fee here. You just have to display it on your…read moredash. Maps took us like 2 miles north, then back track to the tunnel to get in. Not sure if that was the best way or not. The parking lot is not huge, and you can't park in the designated camping area spots. There are plenty of picnic tables, probably more than parking spaces. There are at least 20 tables there. There are a few trails to choose from. Very close the parking and campsites is a short 1/4 hike (or shorter) to the dinosaur prints. There is a hike in the other direction to the mini waterfall and pond. Probably about a mile or a little over a mile (1direction). We also found an old almost petrified bristlecone tree (that was neat). We got lucky with the weather for Dec, it was probably about 60 degrees and very nice. I saw that in the summer it can be over 110 so I am glad that we got the nice weather. The red /orange scenery is spectacular and representative of the area, like it is at zion, bryce, snow canyon, pioneer park, etc. We enjoyed a picnic lunch there, and we had a blue bird, a scrub jay, come join us and beg for food. Check out my photos.

I arrived when they opened and got a great spot along the water there. Included at the tables are bbqs and just a nice big area to relax and have a good time. Property and facilities were very clean. Staff were friendly. Water seemed clean to swim around in or get in some tubes. I would recommend this place to families or anyone that wants to get out of Vegas for the day.

Beforehand, you might want to do some research and watch current videos on IG, TikTok, or YouTube so you know what to expect. We finally made it here on SATURDAY, JUNE 6TH to escape the Vegas heat. It's an hour drive from Las Vegas, so we left at 8:15 am. We arrived at 9:15 am to a line of other cars thinking the same thing...we were already about 20 cars deep. The park opens at 10am to 6pm and it's $30/person for adults. There are about 50 parking spots inside that the workers will direct you where to park, and there are complimentary wagons to load up your belongings to bring to your picnic spot. Top priority for everyone is to cool off in the 100-foot 80 degree river, and snag a great picnic spot. Most prime picnic spots are along the river and come covered and fully equipped with a grill, tablle, chairs, and a garbage can. Restrooms are clean, and there's also a shower as well. For us, swim time in the river was OUR priority, so we packed lightly(cooler, chairs, towels, bluetooth speaker, and water flasks. We brought snacks, ice cream, and poke for lunch. Went for our first swim at about 10:30am Had a Poke Bowl lunch at about 11:15am while lots of people were still slaving away in the heat over a hot grill trying to get lunch cooked for their families. Went for a second swim at Noon. Not too many people swimming as lots of people were still eating. By the time 1-1:30pm rolled around, the river was a madhouse with all kinds of music blasting, and people just having a great time. We decided to call it a day and packed up our belongings then headed back to Vegas. A fun day was had, and yes, we plan to return. Now you know before you go!

When you exit from the freeway, park your vehicle in the parking lot. You can spend the day easily here! Taking a refreshing walk especially during the spring/winter or fall when the weather is cooler is ideal. Summertime temperatures are high and you can get heat stroke easily if you normally don't have experience with the desert conditions/temperatures. Down the river, there is a place where you can sign up for some water sports, like kayaking. I didn't do that yet but it is on my list. So I definitely return for just kayaking here!

This is a nice state park with friendly staff and clean facilities. Depending on what side you're on, you get closer access to the modern restrooms with showers.

In addition, the park itself has some recreational activities available and is located on a scenic reservoir. Very good state park.

The water is BEAUTIFUL and it's only an hour and 40ish drive to here from vegas. I could stay in the little pool and watch the waterfall and river for days. This is also a really beautiful spot to take photos too. I'm so so so happy that I had the opportunity to see the beauty of this place. Fun fact, there's the cutest little air bnb on a farm for 2 that's only 5 minutes away from little Jamaica. It's called the purple house and it's great place to stay in if you want to hang out at the river for more than one day! This place honestly leaves me speechless. I luckily didn't experience any trash really. This really is my favorite hidden gem it's such a beautiful place to relax at. THE WAY THERE: It can get really confusing to get down to the water hole! There's a gate thing and once you go past that you turn right and eventually you should pass through a tall grass patch. The rocks near the water are very slippery, so make sure you're being careful or wearing water shoes with some traction. There's also a rope tied to the rock to help you get down!
