Deer Creek Canyon Park is defined by its sterling recreation opportunities and golden habitat for wildlife. <br />
Hikers and equestrians have the Meadowlark Homesteader and Golden Eagle Trails all to themselves. On multi-use trails, mountain bikers test their mettle on "The Wall," a steep section of rocky terrain on Plymouth Creek Trail, and pedal the 2.5-mile Red Mesa Loop. All trail users should be aware of the risk of rattlesnake encounters. <br />
