On any given day, visitors to this one-of-a-kind state park facility may see majestic golden eagles, redtail 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.

On the far north end of the park is Ross Creek.  Ross Creek Trailhead provides parking , a vault restroom, hitching posts, and non-motorized day use access to Jordanelle Reservoir and the Perimeter Trail.  The Perimeter Trail allows hikers, mountain bikers, equestrians and other non-motorized users the opportunity to explore the other side of Jordanelle.
