The Deer Creek Picnic Area is located approximately halfway along the Deer Creek Highway, Route 158, with parking and restrooms on one side and a trail leading to the picnic areas on the other. The tree-lined trail features a seasonal stream running along it, with tables set up along the way.
The Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway complex is a fascinating destination in itself. This 128-acre area has been transformed from a golf course into public buildings, trails, exhibits, and more. Whether you just visit the Visitor Center to pick up maps and buy souvenirs, or stay to hike or participate in a program, be sure to stop by Gateway!
