Little Water Trail ends at the Big Water Trail and very close to Dog Lake. The Big Water Trail ends at the meeting of the Desolation Trail just above Dog Lake. The trail is highly used by hikers and bikers, therefore some restrictions have been implemented to avoid conflict. Mountain bikes are restricted from the trail on ODD numbered calendar days. Dogs are allowed in Mill Creek Canyon, but Watershed restrictions apply and are strictly enforced if you cross the ridge into Big Cottonwood Canyon.
This moderately difficult 1.8 mile trail gains 1,020 feet in elevations and receives frequent use. It takes about 2 hours to complete the trail one way.

Facilities: No facilities are provided at Little Water Trail.

Reservations: Reservations are not needed or accepted for Little Water Trail.

Best Time To Visit: Late spring, summer, and fall is the best time to visit Little Water Trail.

Fees: A fee is charged to enter the Mill Creek Canyon.

Accessibility: This area is not handicap accessible.

Rules: Mountain bikes are restricted from the trail on odd numbered calendar days.

Directions: To reach Little Water Trail from Salt Lake City, take Mill Creek Canyon Road (3800 South Wasatch Blvd.) about 9.1 miles up the canyon to the parking lot at the very top. Note that the parking lot at the top gets very crowded, especially on weekends. Please park horse trailers in the lower overflow parking area down the canyon. Illegal parking and the small upper parking lot makes it very difficult for trailers and almost impossible for larger trailers (4-6 horse trailers).
