Bird watchers, photographers, and other nature enthusiasts come from around the nation to view the more than 200 different forms of bird and mammal life, which call Rock Cliff home.
On any given day, visitors to this one-of-a-kind state park facility may see majestic golden eagles, red tail hawks, hummingbirds, mule deer, elk, or moose along the Upper Provo River within Rock Cliff. In the evenings, fall asleep listening to the sounds of rushing water, playful raccoons, or the hooting of a great horned owl.
Ross Creek Recreation Area
On the far north end of the park is the Ross Creek Recreation Area. The Ross Creek Trailhead provides parking, a vault restroom, hitching posts, and non-motorized day-use access to Jordanelle Reservoir and the Perimeter Trail.
