The Deer Creek Reservoir section of the Provo/Jordan River Parkway Trail is an enjoyable hiking and walking trail along the west shore of the Deer Creek Reservoir. Although there is a highway on the other side, you hardly notice. This broad gravel path is part of the Provo River Parkway – Jordan River Parkway system. It runs the hillside above the northern shore of Deer Creek Reservoir. Length is 8.03 miles, with about 400 feet of total climbing. While mostly straight, there are occasional sharp turns during descents into small canyons. Make sure you bring water and a lunch plus a fishing pole.

Rockwell Station

About 1800 feet due west prominent on the Overland Stage and Pony Express Route 1858 to 1868 kept by Orin Porter Rockwell.
This monument was constructed of stone from the old station.
Note: The westbound Pony Express riders proceeded south along today’s State Street to the next station south of the Utah State Prison. This was at Orrin Porter Rockwell’s Hot Springs Brewery Hotel—a popular stopping point for travelers. Rockwell kept the station on the Pony Express route from 1858–1868. A stone monument was constructed from stone from the old station and was found at the southeast corner of the prison compound, until it was moved when the new Freeway was built.
