Fox Trail

Waterfall on Jacob Fork River at South Mountains State Park

Clear Creek Reservoir and Lakeview Trail

The water level at Clear Creek Reservoir has been lowered to perform maintenance. Fishing and boating access may be affected through July 2021 by the low water levels as the current shoreline is muddy and rocky.

Lakeview Trail includes at least one creek crossing that is difficult to cross safely without getting your feet wet during or immediately following heavy rain. Please plan ahead.
