A few months ago we were looking for a location for our daughter to play in the water, and we…read morestumbled upon this place. Parking is very easy and is located across the street from the golf course. You will hike on a paved road for about 15-20 minutes, and then on your left there will be a dirt path to get to the Dripping Rock Falls. It is perfect on a hot summer day to do some rock hunting or to wade, The dripping waterfall is also a very nice site. Excellent spot for the kids to hike and enjoy some fun in the water.

The parking lot was already pretty full as vehicles were parking up on the drive in. Fortunately we found a spot right away. There were all sorts of people around. From joggers and walkers to families to older folks. It's a short walk of a few blocks to the Falls. It's very scenic. Before you know it you can hear the water cascading down the mountain and you have reached the base of the falls. Feel free to take your shoes off or wear sandals as you can walk in the cool water. A lot of fun on this beautiful day. As the weather heats us, I'm sure even more folks would visit and walk in the cooling beautiful water of Bridal Falls Veil.

It was the perfect stroll for my young kids in the middle of the Summer because it is mostly shaded. The River was really high in June so it wasn't safe for kids to wade in, but I hear at the end of Summer or Sept it can be pretty low. The trail end on one end of the park but then extends beyond the park to the East and goes through a tunnel under the main road. Not sure how far it extends from there. There is a map at the beginning where I mentioned earlier. Perhaps a closer look with tell you those secrets. The trail is well taken care of and fairly wide and smooth. Great for strollers or for running on. HINT: There is a Fantastic climbing tree located in the middle of the trail in the Sports Park! So good, I climbed all the way to the top! :) Someone also attached a little swing that my kids couldn't get enough of.

Payson Lakes Campground is beautiful! It is a short drive from SLC, but it feels like a different…read moreworld! This is a popular campground, so you will need to make your reservation well in advance, especially for the nicer/more private sites. I visited on Labor Day weekend, and the campground was full. Lots of kids running around. But our campsite (B20) was very secluded and private, and we had a wonderful stay! The location was close to the bathroom but not too close to our neighbors, which is our favorite combination. The lake was extremely low.. seeing the boat dock was almost comical, as it looked like a high dive over a long stretch of rocks! But it was also sad to see this, as I'm sure the lake was even more beautiful when full. My picture makes the lake look like a tiny swamp, but there was actually room for paddle boarding/kayaking. I didn't go in, as walking through muck to get to the actual water isn't really my thing. But I can see how it would be a fun day for a family with kids. Many of the campsites didn't have a private feel to them, so I would recommend browsing pictures online before choosing your site if you're picky like me. I did an inventory of the most private sites, so few free to msg me for more info. I will be back here for sure!

My review is centered just on the Payson Lake beach site. We had a WONDERFUL day here…read more First thing to note- it is a LONG, windy road in with no cell service! I had no idea it would be that way, but it was a gorgeous drive. It's $10 for the day, on your honor since there was no guard in the booth. Be sure to grab an envelope to stick in your dashboard! The lake and beach area is BEAUTIFUL! Bring your own life jacket, paddle boards, rafts, and kayaks out and enjoy the sunshine. The lake doesn't seem to have much of a current, so it's a great place to float and row around! I believe you can fish as well. You may be able to find a picnic bench or two, but plan on bringing your own seating and overhead coverings, because it is HOT in August! This is definitely a hidden gem in the Uinta National Forest, and we will be back! Enjoy!

There is not a ton of parking and also it's right next to a busy road (500 w) which makes it feel a little less safe. They do have some nice pavilions.
