Summary: Davis County in Northern Utah contains some of the greatest hiking trails found anywhere in the country. Nestled between View Mont peak and Centerville peak is a Beautiful canyon. Suitable for a day hike or a weekend camp. The Trail is excellent and you will find several nice camp or picnic spots where you can enjoy the soothing sounds of Centerville creek as it meanders its way down the canyon. To begin your hike you will climb up a fairly steep trail for the first .25 mile, then you will drop into the canyon where you will enjoy a shady hike among the scrub oak and some evergreens. There are some creaky bridges for you to cross the creek as you work your way up the canyon. The three times I have hiked this canyon we only went about 1.3 miles the trail continues further but You will have to discover how far it goes. See you on the Trail Trailhead: From I 15 take The Centerville Parrish lane exit (exit 322). Follow Parrish lane East to the end. Take the narrow road to the left. After it curves around up the hill to the right you will see the trail head sign. Continue about .25 mile and park near the reservoir. The trail begins up the hill to the East.

Reviewed by Nicole on 6/29/2008 My group ended up doing this by mistake. But, it turned out to be such a beautiful mistake! It was perfect for a hot day. We continued until the trail faded away. There is a really cool swing if you go far enough. Us adults had a blast!

Reviewed by Jim Smith on 6/8/2008 If you hike down to the creek you can make a loop of the trial by turning right and follow the creek down to the gun ranch gate. From there you can follow the road down to the reservoir where you park your vehicle.
Reviewed by Whistlestar on 7/19/2007 I would check 5 stars but that might spoil the secret of my "personal favorite" because of its location so close to my home. It is not an easy hike for the first 1/2 mile or so scrambling straight up the loose dirt and rock on an exposed steep slope. Then it's over "Mahogany Grove" with great views where Boy Scouts often camp and down into the bottom of the canyon following the creek. That is where you will find a beautiful stream in a lush narrow canyon to rival any spot in the Wasatch. Scouts also camp up near or beyond the rope swing (use at your own risk). This is an official Forest Service trail but not well used or maintained. I run this trail with great joy (and some caution).
Reviewed by Charles on 7/6/2005 I was recently out there on business and the guys at the Canyon Sports recommended this trail. It's a nice lazy butt kicking 1000'climb up a paved access road for several scout camps, pedestrians w/dogs (careful when speeding back down, the dogs don't signal). Cheap ticket: Once you turn into the roadeventually you have to pay a toll booth $2.50 per car. If you park before the toll both you can ride into the park canyon (adds about 2 mi. distance from start to trailhead). Nice overlook at end, return trip is downhill over paved roads (Nice, but dogs). Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous. You are responsible for informing yourself about these hazards and taking necessary precautions. Information on this web site comes from volunteer reporters and may contain errors or omissions.
