About Hobble Creek Canyon
Hobble Creek Canyon is located approximately one hour south of Salt Lake City in the town of Springville. Hobble Creek is one of the most beautiful canyons in northern Utah. There is truly nothing like it along the Wasatch Front. Traveling in the canyon makes you feel like you are way out in forest service lands, yet within 10 to 15 minutes from the golf course you can be at a grocery store, restaurants and even I-15.
The Hobble Creek Golf Course is one of the most popular public golf courses in the state of Utah. Largely because of the unmatched natural beauty of the location, golfers travel from all over to play this regulation 18-hole championship golf course. Just past the golf course the canyon forks.
The Right Fork of Hobble Creek Canyon is all public lands. The city of Springville maintains a large public park just past the golf course. This narrow asphalt road winds up around 8 miles before it ends and the road turns to gravel and dirt. If you kept going you could eventually end up all the way over to Diamond Fork and Spanish Fork canyons. As you travel up the Right Fork, there are numerous side trails ideal for hiking and horseback riding. Most of the trailheads are located right along the road. There are also two public campgrounds located along the Right Fork.
The Left Fork of Hobble Creek Canyon is almost all private land. Over the last twenty years some of the most spectacular estate homes in Utah have been built here. The Left Fork is wider and more expansive than the Right Fork. Consequently, it produces more dramatic views. The Left Fork goes up around 6 miles before the asphalt ends and it turns into a narrow dirt road. If you take a four wheel drive you can travel the dirt road as far as Daniels Summit near Strawberry Reservoir. Approximately three miles up the Left Fork there is a side canyon called Pole Haven. This dirt road eventually turns into the Squaw Peak Trail and ends in Provo Canyon.
Hobble Creek Canyon is a recreational paradise. Hikers, mountain bikers, off road enthusiasts, golfers, anglers, hunters, photographers, snowmobilers, and even the occasional heli skier have all fallen in love with the canyon.
