Hikers of all skill levels can enjoy the beauty found in this ecosystem, and can look forward to numerous wildlife viewing opportunities along the way. This route climbs along a beautiful cascading stream to Battle Creek Falls, where the water drops hundreds of feet and sprays a cool mist to nearby travelers. A breather pipe above the falls splashes bursts of water for children to play in. Near the cool creek, wild roses and other wildflowers color the landscape. Just above the falls, numerous trees provide shade for a quiet rest before the return hike.
Battle Creek attracts numerous trail users, requiring courtesy from all.
Other travelers include equestrians and mountain bikers. You also may find poison ivy or oak along the trail. Loose rocks in the trail may slow travel, but caution may prevent a twisted ankle or a fall. Bring plenty of drinking water. Begin your hike at the south end of Kiwanis Park, on a jeep road that leads into the canyon mouth.
