Grouse Creek Community
Park, Campground and Trail Head Project
A project is currently underway to improve
the rodeo grounds by constructing a community park, public campground
and multi-use trail head facility. This facility will provide a
central area for residents and non-residents to meet and enjoy the
various activities this area will support. This project is being
managed by the Grouse Creek Recreation District. It is the Recreation
District's overall objective to improve the quality of Grouse Creek's
recreational areas by promoting, maintaining, and developing facilities
in Grouse Creek.
Grouse Creek Community Park, Campground
and Trail Head Project Design:
Design by: David
Bell, Utah State Extension Service
The plan is to:
- Plant grass and shade trees,
- Acquire water for drinking and
irrigation and install pipelines,
- Develop camp sites and multi-use
trail head facilities
- Add numerous picnic tables and
benches,
- Install outdoor lighting for the
arena and parking areas,
- Build a public restroom, snack
shack, and covered information center,
- Construct new bleachers,
- Provide area maps with points
of interest for trail rides and heritage tour routes,
Once the plan has been completed,
the following activities will be available in the community; horseback
riding, camping, bike riding, community parties and cookouts.
Other Camping
Areas
 The
"Red Top Cabin" at Winfred's Field is a private campground
available just north of Grouse Creek on the Pine Creek (pronounced
"crick" in Utah). There is a developed campsite with drinking
water, a picnic table and a small cabin. Camping at the "Red
Top Cabin" can be arranged by contacting Delma
Smith. If you are interested in having a Dutch Oven dinner provided
for you at the campsite, you need to make advanced arrangements
with Delma. If you have never experienced Dutch Oven Cooking before
then you are missing out on something special.
Since there is so much public land available
for the public to use, camping can be found in almost any area.
One of my favorite areas is called Ingham Canyon. Ingham Canyon
is on public lands and consists of a grove of Cottonwood trees by
a small stream. Pick up a map of the area at the Grouse Creek Supply
to assist you in discovering and exploring the area.
Grouse Creek
Mountains
The Sawtooth National Forest is located
about 35 miles Northeast of Grouse Creek by Yost, Utah. The Sawtooth
National Forest is a relatively unknown National Forest and there
are various areas to camp. Most of the popular areas are near drinking
water and small streams.
