Daniels Creek is a favorite family fishing stream located just east of Heber Valley in Daniels Canyon. Highway 40 follows the stream nearly the length of the canyon, allowing for access virtually anywhere along the stream. Several pullouts and undeveloped areas provide plenty of room to get off the highway and fish for an afternoon. Whiskey Springs Picnic Area is located along Highway 40 on the creek, approximately eight miles from Heber. It\’s the perfect place to take the family for a day, with access to the stream, a parking area, restrooms, picnic tables, a playground, and a short nature trail.

The stream is stocked with rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout with fishing success consistently high. Regulations on Daniels Creek generally include full bag limits and any legal Utah bait (no corn, hominy, or live fish). Double-check the current Utah fishing proclamation for updated limits and regulations.
