Mueller Park Group Picnic Area is located just 5 miles from Bountiful, Utah, at an elevation of 5,400 feet. Visitors enjoy relaxing in the shade along Mill Creek and exploring local trails.
Shady maple, aspen, cottonwood, willow, pine and fir trees surround this beautiful site, offering a cool retreat from the city below. Mill Creek tumbles through the site. Summer wildflowers are plentiful and autumn leaves put on quite a show.
Mueller Canyon offers excellent trail opportunities. Hiking, mountain biking, dirt biking and horseback riding are allowed here. Mueller Park Trail is 13 miles long, gradually climbing into the Wasatch foothills through dense forests before passing Elephant Rock and ending at Rudys Flat.
Kenney Creek Trail is nearby and can be used to access the Great Western Trail. North Park Trail connects with Grandview Peak Trail and Cottonwood Gulch.
This group area contains 18 day-use picnic sites, accommodating groups as small as 16 people and as large as 100. All sites have tables, campfire rings and grills.
Flush toilets and drinking water are provided. Roads, parking spurs and walking paths within the site are paved. A volleyball court and childrens playground are on-site.
From I-15, take the Woods Cross exit. Go a half-mile east on 2600 South, 0.9 miles north on Orchard Drive, a mile east on 1800 South, then 2 miles to the park entrance. The group picnic area is 100 yards east of the locked gate at the east end of park.
Great place to take the family for a picnic and go for a hike afterwards. Lots of beautiful scenery and great spots for picnic tables. They have single tables, double tables and large group sites. There is even a sand volleyball pit and a horse shoe pit, just make sure to bring your own gear. The bathrooms have running water in the sinks and flushing toilets and are kept really clean.
One of my very favorite trails in Davis County! While it's a high traffic and a lot of cyclists it's worth the time. Prepare you're self like 4 hours!
Easy 7.3 mile out and back trail. Wide and well maintained. Popular with mountain bikes who aren't courteous and expect the hikers to always get out of their way. Overall a nice hike except for the pushy mountain bikes. Maybe everyone could start following the "party going up hill has the right of way" rule.
The trail is nice and beautiful, but getting to parking will be tough without 4x4. Road is narrow, so expect a few brush scratches on your full size pickup.
There looks to be a small and abandoned homeless camp back in the trees by the creek and trail head. Hunting is allowed in the area also, so beware and be safe.
This trail offers a Beautiful, peaceful place to be. I love seeing all the trees, wild flowers, smelling the fresh clean aroma of mother nature. Enjoying the sunset. Elephant Rock is a great look out point and a perfect place to hike into for a good 3 miles. Round trip is about 6 miles! Worth it! Watch out for mountain bikers that's the main concern for both hikers and bikers sharing the trail.
