This a beautiful place to visit, with scenic vistas and springs. There are paved trails around the springs, with some steep areas and level areas. It is a great spot for pictures, but there are always a lot of people on the weekends, and not a lot of parking. Only thing that would make it better is a ranger to make sure people keep their dogs on a leash and out of the water.

Awesome springs, travertine pools, paved walks and boardwalks. Very beautiful. Nice place for kids to run, but there is no picnicking or playing in the water for environmental reasons. When we were there September 2021 the drinking fountains and flush toilets or closed due to drought. There are pit toilets available. The trail to the right of the parking lot is much less steep than the one by the restroom.

This is such a gorgeous detour off the alpine loop. There are two parking areas with hiking trails that wind through the trees and take you to the natural springs. Great spots for photos all around. Absolutely beautiful at the end of September when the fall colors are in full bloom. Great spot to bring dogs & kids too, if that’s your thing 👍

Nice nature hike with paved paths, some shaded areas by trees, that curve along water ways and wooden bridges as you can view mini waterfalls and if lucky the wildlife of the area. A deer crossed our path. Places to sit if needed to rest.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

How long will it be closed?

Carrie Pederson | Jul 10, 2020
Amber Montoya | Jul 11, 2020

We were able to go by 4 wheeler only due to construction and the automobile being closed. You can only get there by ATV but the trail and bathrooms are open. Office is closed. I am not sure when construction will be done

Can you still park up at the upper parking lot and hike down to the springs?

Tymber Epps | Feb 6, 2020
Kaykay Park | Feb 7, 2020

Yeah, and it's super easy. If you want to do all of the loops it gets a little cold in the fall, but it is so worth it as there can be a red tree in the middle of a lot of green trees. Totally worth it and the drive up and down is amazing!

Do the springs really close at 5pm everyday? Like, no hiking or anything?

Robin Stewart | Oct 8, 2020
Lindsay | Oct 9, 2020

From what I understand it's dusk. We were there this weekend after 5 and there were quite a few people there and more came as we were leaving

Last time we went there we had to walk a ways to get on the trail. Has that been fixed?

Kristine Case | Oct 8, 2020
Ry C | Oct 9, 2020

Whether you start from the top or bottom, you do have to walk a short distance on a trail to get to the springs.

Katy Taylor | Jun 10, 2020
Bruce Harper | Jun 11, 2020

Cascade Springs is open, but you can only get there from Wasatch Mountain State Park, or the rather steep ATV trail that starts near Deer Creek dam. We were there Monday.

We tried to go earlier this year and were blocked by the road closures. If anyone knows for sure which roads are open and how to get to the upper parking lot, can you please drop me some directions? Thanks!

Samantha Craig | Feb 6, 2020
TJ Dale | Feb 7, 2020

Yes, you can go up past Sundance & when you reach the top take the right fork down to Cascade Springs. You can't come over the hill from Heber anymore,but it appears they are redoing that road so you will be able to next year

Roy Scott | Feb 6, 2020
Jerry Schmick | Feb 7, 2020

Be aware that road to Cascade is closed if you come in from the Midway side. To road in from Provo puts you at the upper parking lot. Long way downhill to the springs. If you have some walking challenges it's a long way back uphill.

Linda Findlay | Jul 18, 2021

I was there at the end of May and there was still plenty of water. It was not as high and rushing as much as it has been other years I've been there in the spring, but it's still beautiful and green.
