Lost Creek Falls is a lesser-known waterfall in Provo Canyon, reached by an easy-to-moderate out-and-back of about 2 miles with roughly 800 feet of gain from a trailhead just off Highway 189, across the canyon from Bridal Veil Falls. It is often overlooked in favor of its more famous neighbor.
Lost Creek Falls sits on Lost Creek. It lies in Utah, Utah. The site is on public land managed by Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest (USFS).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. The walk in is brief — comfortable shoes are usually all you need. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 2 miles round trip. The nearest town is Provo.
When to go: Spring to fall (Apr-Oct). Flow usually peaks after snowmelt and heavy rain and tapers through late summer — a quick look at recent streamflow and the managing agency's conditions page can save a wasted trip.
