    The Lower Pine Creek Waterfall trail is a short, unmaintained trail that leads to a beautiful 5 m waterfall. This trail gets little traffic, and is a great hike to do on a hot day. The bouldery nature of this trail does not make it suitable for the elderly or for young children but it is a fun challenge for experienced hikers and is doable for older children with the help of an adult.

    Route Description for Lower Pine Creek Waterfall Trail

    The Lower Pine Creek Waterfall Trail is a short, challenging, bouldery route that leads to a secluded 5 m waterfall just outside of Springdale, UT. This hike is not recommended for the very old or the very young as hikers have to climb over large boulders to get to the waterfall itself. This trail is not maintained, and has historically had issues with graffiti and littering. If you visit the Lower Pine Creek Waterfall, please be respectful of your surroundings and keep this natural wonder beautiful for all who visit.

    From the parking area, head east over the guardrail to the trailhead. The path is unmarked but well defined and tracks directly eastward. The path down to the creek is steep, so take your time and watch your step. Once you get down, the trail becomes a series of boulders to rock-hop and clamber over. After about 0.5 km of this challenging terrain, you will arrive at the Lower Pine Creek Waterfall.

    Take a rest and enjoy the scenery and serenity of the Lower Pine Creek Waterfall before turning back and following the same path back home.
