The trail is nice and beautiful, but getting to parking will be tough without 4x4. Road is narrow, so expect a few brush scratches on your full size pickup.There looks to be a small and abandoned homeless camp back in the trees by the creek and trail head. Hunting is allowed in the area also, so beware and be safe.

This trail offers a Beautiful, peaceful place to be. I love seeing all the trees, wild flowers, smelling the fresh clean aroma of mother nature. Enjoying the sunset. Elephant Rock is a great look out point and a perfect place to hike into for a good 3 miles. Round trip is about 6 miles! Worth it! Watch out for mountain bikers thats the main concern for both hikers and bikers sharing the trail.

Great day use area. The hosts onsite are super friendly. Well kept grounds and bathrooms. Sites are great for campfire cooking and enjoying the shade. The creek that runs through provides nice ambient sounds of nature amongst the heavily shaded canyon.

Ive loved this park forever... Absolutely beautiful. The windstorm did not affect it as bad as I thought it would have. The restrooms are always clean. The picnic areas are well maintained and clean with firepits. It is national forest so there is a fee. But well worth visiting there are also plenty of trails to hike there are many great places for photos and weddings.

I think i missed the real bright colors by abiut a week. But its a lovely hike. Not difficult. Very pretty.

We held a family picnic at sites 9 and 10. The place was 91 degrees, 7 less than the 100 degrees registered as we got off the I-15 freeway. The host has free firewood, which was appreciated. The streamflow was low so was a perfect, safe place for our grandkids to play. We located two geocaches within walking distance too. We will be back. This is a great location.

Natural wooded creek, perfect for families and solo sports enthusiasts alike. Pure nature close to the city. My two year old grandson loved it!

I enjoyed this picnic area. Its only about a 30 minute drive from home (instead of an hour or more to other sites), its pretty, its by a river. But the best part about it was the people who work there. They are the nicest people! It really makes a difference to interact with people who are genuinely kind.

Beautiful area, nice and clean and quiet. Not much parking near the entrance, but if you continue up the road theres a large lot at the end.

The abundance of trees provide enough shade on the sunniest of days! Breathtaking views as you go up the trail. A seat by the creek is the perfect spot for a quiet moment just outside of the city.

Really cool but really busy. I was on the north canyon side...And I wasnt stuck just a good photo opportunity!Just took my kids and their Grammy for a relaxing ride!

A beautiful canyon with a well-maintained picnic area. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We had a great evening!

What a great park! Bathrooms are well kept. Hiking and biking trail. Bring your dogs and kids. Hike to elephant rock

One of my very favorite trails in Davis County! While its a high traffic and a lot of cyclists its worth the time. Prepare youre self like 4 hours!

Great hike with stunning views

This was such a great place to have a family gathering! It was a beautiful location with lots of room for us all to participate in activities and enjoy our time together.

Nice hike above Bountiful. Lots of shade. Well maintained trail. Friendly people.Very enjoyable.

This has to be one of my top 10 favorite places to hike. Amazing anytime of year! There is a good combination of shade and sunshine. Pretty rocky the further up you go. Also watch out for bikers!

Easy 7.3 mile out and back trail. Wide and well maintained. Popular with mountain bikes who arent courteous and expect the hikers to always get out of their way. Overall a nice hike except for the pushy mountain bikes. Maybe everyone could start following the party going up hill has the right of way rule.

Great place for picnic. Bad place because many people do not lease there dogs, posted but ignored, park host does nothing about dogs.

Great place to take the family for a picnic and go for a hike afterwards. Lots of beautiful scenery and great spots for picnic tables. They have single tables, double tables and large group sites. There is even a sand volleyball pit and a horse shoe pit, just make sure to bring your own gear. The bathrooms have running water in the sinks and flushing toilets and are kept really clean.

Gorgeous setting but can be quite busy.

Great outdoor picnic and hiking trails area. Plus restrooms and creek.

The leaves are so beautiful right now

Nice place, well maintained, great place to go for a fire or hike.

A wonderful oasis right in Bountiful. The trail to Elephant Rock is shaded most of the way and it is ideal for biking, running, or hiking.

Such a beautiful place! Still some very squishy, deep snow at the top. Overall great place for hike and some views!

People have a tenancy to confuse Mueller park picnic area with the trail to elephant rock (which is awesome by the way). The picnic area is one of the worst Ive been to. The forest service contractor that runs the place is grouchy, and the picnic spaces have been in disrepair for years now. If you read the reviews you will see most of the high ratings come from people using the trails, not the picnic spaces.As a kid I remember playing on great playground, playing volleyball, and tossing frisbees on the large fields of grass. I wouldnt let my kids on the playground that remains, and the open spaces have been converted to unmaintained medows.

A very nice , peaceful day trip , u can picnic and hike rental for eachbspot is available...no camping just day use .

Awesome quick hike just outside of Salt Lake. Good views and nice trails.

Beautiful canyon. Good bike trails.

I love going biking at Mueller Park. Its a challenging trail going uphill, but totally worth it. Usually gets crowded during sunny days, people on bikes, people hiking with dogs or people running. Watch out on corners! Beautiful from Big Rock to look down at the Great Salt Lake and surroundings. I would choose the sunset time to go up there. Grab some water with you!

One of my favorite areas to go for a quick bike ride

Wonderful time for a hike !! Oh and big kitty lol.

I love that park. Its perfect for the little ones and to take pictures during any season. Perfect spot for family hangouts with firepits on location and facilities for picnics... Its perfect!

Great place to hike with tge famiky

Awesome hike! Theres a fee for Kenny Creek in the summer.

We just went for a hike to elephant rock and parked our cars at the park.

This is a wonderful place. We have gone here at least 4 years in a row and rented one of the large group sites. Great place to catch up with friends, let the kids play together, and cook some food over the camp fire. Cool breeze, shady trees, and the creek make a great atmosphere.

Such a beautiful place to go! Walk around, enjoy the nature, have a campfire and enjoy life.

Hiked the Elephant Rock trail today. Ive been scrambling up this trail since I was a kid. Its definitely a lot busier than it used to be, but its pretty well maintained and is always beautiful.

Davis countys best mountain biking trail. Crowded on the weekends, be aware of hikers

No words to describe so much beauty

Short drive from Bountiful to this beautiful wooded area with a river, bridge, picnic tables and hiking trails. You can park for free on the street before the fee area and walk in for $6 or park in the national forest lots for $9 per car. There is some construction going on right now. Call or check the website before going.

Beautiful area. The trees are very dense in most places. Hiking, mountain biking, picnic, and some camping.

Great hiking

Absolutely beautiful place! We did family pictures here.

The area is beautiful but the picnic spots need to be more clearly marked! we searched for our family for more than 30 minutes....

Super busy, get there early.

Fun trail! Loved the big old Dougies & snow falling, winter wonderland!

Dont go there. Less people is more better. :)

Great spot for some hiking or snow shoeing with kids.

A beautiful canyon right in bountiful

They really fixed up this place to bad its for day use only. The cost also seemed a bit high for a four hour block. $6 a person and $8 per vehicle not including a few if you use a sight which ranged from $30 to $90 dollars. The camp host was MIA so no one to ask questions to. The shade was adequate and the atmosphere was peaceful the sights were spaced far enough apart so that you didnt deal with others to much. Overall it was ok. You get what you pay for.

Just an amazing beautiful place, I love going up with my family and roasting marshmallows and hiking around

Went here for my father in laws birthday party. Had never been but will 100% be back.

Beautiful landscape for photos. Wait till you get to the top!

A slice of the high mountains right in town.

Fun! Big grassy area and sand volleyball court by the campfires. I don’t love how shaded it is, but it is still a very pretty place.

The trail itself is very nice, however it is infested with rude, obnoxious and arrogant bikers. It would be safer to hike through downtown Salt Lake than to share a path with these cretins. Seriously, its just a matter of time before a hiker gets run over.

I love this park! The only thing holding it back from 5 stars is how narrow the road is going up to some of the barbeque sites.

It was a great day hiking well go back soon

Man. This place is so serene. And its only 5 min to my home!

Very nice park with streams nearby, benches and firepit. The way paid parking is managed is inconvenient and complicated. Folks should just be able to pay at entrance or do money in a box.

Beautiful trail. However I will most likely not visit again. The park itself is a pay by day. Although its a national forest. Public land. The host (more like prison guard) was extremely rude and threatned to call the police for us asking why a public park costs money. I do not reccomend the picnic park area. At all.

Really amazing trail for a quick hike or a longer run. This is the perfect place for snowshoeing, hiking, biking, marathon training, and lounging with friends. Its also a great spot for elevation raining because the switch backs help level you out as you go.There is a great creek that runs just off the parking lot that you can relax near and some seating areas to take advantage of too.There are trail courtesy signs around, so most people out for a little recreation are very considerate when sharing the trails.

Mueller park is one of our favorite places. Its a short drive from home to a little forest escape. Mature trees and a babbling creek provide a pleasant atmosphere for the picnic areas and trails.

Beautiful canyon. Be sure and notice the water treatment/pumping station that I built all the electrical equipment for and is mostly located inside the building. Yeah, its just a building but its my way of making a living.

Nice park and picnic area with trail heads to some good trails. Used to be wildly popular but less so now that they charge an entry fee. Note that the entry fee is not assessed if you are walking in and only using the trails. However, parking outside the fee area is very limited and most people have to park on the street and walk in, which adds as much as half a mile to the walk.

Absolutely beautiful picnic area. The only reason I gave a 4 star is because the cement was pretty worn down. Still couldnt complain about the exemplary temperature. Peaceful and beautiful!

Great hike. Too many dog owner and bikes that dont care about trail etiquette for me.

This USED to be an AWESOME place to picnic with the family. It seemed like a HAPPENING place, the beauty of nature... Our family enjoyed to take the scouts there for Den and Pack meetings and learn of conservation skills.We have not been back after the campground hosts needled us for money to the point that I wondered what was up - then when he yelled at us, we have not been back. I hope they got BETTER people to look after the place. It was very dear to us in the past.please be aware if you go there.

Shady trail, easy to walk and enjoyable views.

Beautiful area. Nice and shady. Near trail to Elephant Rock.

Cool place to walk little stream is nice to place to have lunch cool and close to home loved it

Beautiful area to walk, hike, or picnic with the whole family! The trails are gorgeous and the bridges, streams, and picnic areas are beautiful and picturesque! I was so impressed the first time I ventured into Mueller Park canyon that I repeated the trip time and again with more family and friends each time!

Views could be a little better but the trails are great and it is soooooo convenient

Beautiful trail with lots of people but everyone was courteous of each other

The park folks are very rude. They get off on threatening fines. The man who owned this canyon had his dying wish of keep it free but they charge a stupid amount to go hiking now. Wont be returning. Thanks for ruining yet another childhood favorite spot.

This is a fantastic area to bring family and kids for a picnic or party

Beautiful hike

Nice shady hike. Popular with bikes.

Admittedly, I underutilize this beautiful area near my home in Bountiful. It is truly an oasis. The temperature is always 10-15 degrees cooler than the nearby city, theres a beautiful river that flows through the park, and nice trails to see it all from.

Good area for scape the city, small picnic place but enough to have fun. Be sure to have 9 dollars in hand for the entrance. There is fire pits, BBQs and a small Creek to enjoy. Bring your charcoal and stuff to BBQ. 8 minutes from the freeway. The are Ranger on site to help you out.

Great place to spend the day with the family.

Incredible experience.. mountain bike, available at night also during snowing season.. no rental available

This has always been a incredibly gorgeous landscape to spend my time in. The picnic area is so fun to host gatherings in, and the hikes are nice because there are tons of trees to shade the sun. Also a great place for landscape or person photos. My only complaint is the cost to drive in, and that information about reservations was somewhat difficult to find.

Great place to hang out and hammock

This is an awesome place for a picnic. Bring your family here and enjoy some time out in the woods. Not far from the city but you feel like you are miles away from the next city. If you want to park close to the picnic sites you have to pay a small fee or you can walk a bit and have free parking.

Food is fair. The staff is not so good. Next time we will go to the sandwich shop just west of 5th west on 5th south.

Pretty place. Hate that they charge so much to have a picnic.

Perfect hiking trail only 15 mins away from downtown slc. Trail is easy but slight incline through most of the trail. Trail is Perfect for families but is a busy busy trail. Oh watch out for bikers they come down the trail fast.

Great hike and much less busy from the North Canyon side of the loop. Absolutely lush in the late spring early summer. Late summer watch for rattle snakes in the rocky sections.

I come here to snowshoe run in the winter and it never disappoints! After the initial trek up it flattens out and offers stunning views. Love the peaceful quiet. Great after a snowfall..

It is a beautiful hike up to Elephant Rock

Great Hike!

Nice clean park. A little out of the way, but went there for a family reunion. The facilities were nice. However, there were a lot of bees around. Maybe there is a huge close by?

Beautiful views and lovely picnic areas.

A lovely little place

We went there in March, and sadly it was still closed! But we walked on the trail up through the park and nobody was there! It was beautiful! We have a truck camper and we just stayed right outside of the entrance on the road and nobody bothered us. It was a very quiet peaceful neighborhood!
