Confirmed from Battle Creek Falls Trail Head's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Fairly easy, forested canyon trail to multiple waterfalls and a small lake.

It’s another day in paradise for my Husband. As an experienced hiker who loves hiking 🥾 in the mountains 🏔️. He had some choices to choose between hiking 🥾 or mountain ⛰️ biking 🚴♀️. He chose to do the hike himself and start walking from Grove Creek and made it to the Battle Creek Falls Trails Head.
This is a sick ass hike! You two have a large waterfall where you can rappel down which is freaking cool! Little bit further they got a smaller cute little waterfall that has a natural small basin you can sit in or whatever pretty cool also. Lots of trees here, it's very Serene walking through these. Extremely calming.
Great family-friendly hike! This is a great short hike for everyone. The trail is well-maintained and easy to follow, making it perfect for kids and beginners. My kids absolutely loved the beautiful waterfall at the end, it’s a great reward after a quick, scenic walk. Highly recommend for a fun family outing!
This is a really pretty hike. I've done it twice in the last week. There's an incredible view of Utah lake even from the parking area. The hike up to the first waterfall takes about half an hour. A beginner could do it. It might be a tad difficult at the steep areas but it's really worth it.
