Hike Creekside Towers Trail

Staff choice for Best Family-Friendly Hike

The Creekside Towers trailhead is located at the northern end of the Bath Rock parking lot. Creekside Towers is an out-and-back 1.2-mile trail, although nearby trails (such as Stairways or South Fork Circle Creek trails) could make for a longer and more adventurous loop. The trail’s gentle grade of 122 feet relative elevation is suitable for families with children or anyone looking for an easier hike in the Reserve. In spring and early summer enjoy the running creek and small cascading waterfall. Outstanding scenery, sculpted granite pinnacles, and a diversity of plants and animals await you.

Get more out of the Creekside towers hike with the guide in the Self-Guided Tours section of the City of Rocks NPS Mobile App or pick up a trail guide at our Visitor Center.
