Milky Falls is a large waterfall on the creek in Manti Canyon above Manti. Drive east from Manti on 500 South straight up the canyon. The road passes the Yearns fishing pond and forks about 6 miles up; keep right. The last 1.5 miles are very bumpy and rough. A trip report says the falls are about 7.5 miles from the last houses and about 150 yards from the road, by a sign. There is no viewing platform; a faint path climbs a slick hillside along the falls. Return the same way. This is a partial guide because the only route source is one family trip report, the parking spot is informal, and the land manager is not confirmed.
