Battle Creek Falls, Natural waterfall in Pleasant Grove, United States.
Battle Creek Falls is a waterfall on the west skirt of Mount Timpanogos, east of Pleasant Grove, Utah. It plunges into rock at the base of the cliff without forming a pool. The creek rises from a natural spring upstream, and both creek and falls are perennial, though flow is highest during late-spring snowmelt and lowest in the coldest weeks of winter, when they are mostly frozen.
The canyon, creek and waterfall carry the name of the 1849 Battle Creek massacre, in which Mormon settlers under orders from Brigham Young killed a small band of Ute people. The settlement of Pleasant Grove was first also called Battle Creek. The creek itself rises from a natural spring upstream of the falls.
