About the City Creek Canyon Parking
City Creek Canyon Parking is located on City Creek Canyon Road in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. This parking area provides access to the beautiful City Creek Canyon, which is a protected watershed and a vital source of high quality drinking water for the city. The canyon offers a serene escape in the Capital City's backyard, but it is important to treat it with respect to protect the fragile ecosystem.
The City Creek Canyon Water Treatment Plant is currently undergoing a complete rebuild, so access may be limited due to heavy construction traffic. It is important to follow all posted restrictions and guidelines while visiting the canyon, including using restrooms, picking up trash, and preventing forest fires and erosion. Dogs are not allowed above picnic site #16, and swimming or wading in the stream is prohibited to protect the water supply.
The City Creek Canyon Master Plan, adopted in 1985, designates the canyon as a Nature Preserve and a Protected Watershed to preserve the drinking water source. Bicycles must follow traffic rules and speed limits, with uphill bikes using the creek-side lane and downhill bikes using the hill side lane. All vehicles and bicycles must observe a 15 mph speed limit in the canyon to ensure safety for all visitors.
It is important to use common sense and keep a safe distance from wild animals such as cougars and moose while in the canyon. Anglers must wear clean waders and dispose of fish waste properly to protect the water supply. Dogs are not allowed in the protected watershed area above picnic area #16 to prevent contamination of the drinking water source.
City Creek Canyon has a rich history dating back to 1866 when it was first diverted into a piped water distribution system for the city. The canyon has undergone upgrades and improvements over the years to protect the water supply and ensure public safety. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the beauty of City Creek Canyon while respecting the rules and guidelines in place to preserve this valuable natural resource.
