Deuel Creek Waterfall (pronounced “do-ell”) is a scenic hike located on the east bench of Centerville, Utah. It sits just south of Parrish Creek and north of Holbrook Canyon.
🥾 About the Deuel Creek Hike
Sometimes referred to as Centerville Creek on older maps, the Deuel Creek Trail is a family-friendly route that offers year-round beauty. It follows the creek the entire way, crosses several bridges, passes by a fun rope swing, and leads to a waterfall. What’s great about this trail is that it is shaded for most of the hike. Dogs will appreciate the water and shade in summer, and kids will find that this hike isn’t too hard for their little legs either. There is an option to follow the North of South Deuel Creek Trail – this guide will be for the South trail.

Deuel Creek South TH
You will start out by hiking on the south side of Deuel Creek. This section has the least shade.
Once you drop down to the creek it’s well shaded.
Crossing the first of 8 bridges total. The creek was raging! We wore our water/hiking shoes for this trail.
This trail has a lot of ups and downs, but overall only gains 1,167 ft.
Although small, this early waterfall is just 0.5 miles in and incredibly scenic.
Around 1.2 miles you will hike right past the rope swing. The rope swing can hold adults too—great fun for all ages!
You will also pass several campsites. This was probably the nicest one. Somebody put in a lot of work here – nailed down logs to create seats, nice fire ring, clean, etc.
1.5 mile marker. Almost there!
First sighting of Deuel Creek Waterfall!
Looking down Deuel Creek Waterfall from the top. There was another campsite right here too.
