Battle Creek Falls is a 50-foot falls in Battle Creek Canyon on the west side of Mount Timpanogos, in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. From the parking area next to Kiwanis Park, walk toward the blue metal arch over the bridge into the park; the trailhead is up the steep slope on the right, just before the bridge. Follow the obvious trail into the canyon. It stays near the stream for most of the way and climbs onto a bench as it nears the falls. You can walk down to the base. Return the same way.
