Explore the Natural Wonders of Fifth Water Hot Springs Trail Waterfalls

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving to Fifth Water Hot Springs Trail Waterfalls, start by navigating to the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. From Springville, Utah, take US-6 E for approximately 15 miles. Look for the turnoff onto the Diamond Fork Road (also known as Forest Road 118) and follow it for about 6 miles until you reach the Fifth Water Hot Springs Trailhead parking area. Make sure to arrive early as parking is limited and can fill up quickly, especially during weekends. There is no fee for parking at the trailhead.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, your best option is to take a bus to Springville. From Salt Lake City, take the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) FrontRunner train to Provo, then transfer to a local bus service to reach Springville. Once in Springville, you will need to arrange for a taxi or rideshare service to get to the Fifth Water Hot Springs Trailhead, as public transport does not reach the trailhead directly. Be sure to check the UTA website for bus schedules and possible costs for the train and bus.

• Hiking

  After parking at the Fifth Water Hot Springs Trailhead, you will begin your hike. The trail is approximately 2 miles long and is considered moderate in difficulty. Follow the well-marked trail that leads you through beautiful scenery, crossing streams and providing views of the surrounding forest. Keep an eye out for signage along the way to ensure you stay on the correct path. The hot springs and waterfalls are located at the end of the trail, where you can relax and enjoy the natural beauty.
