Donut Falls is located up Big Cottonwood Canyon. I couldn't find any mention of a picnic spot here, but have it on good authority that it's a fun place
to bring a picnic and then take a beautiful hike to the falls. As with all outdoor canyon activities, it is smart to bring your own water and a cell phone. Quoting an online site "The trail starts to the south of the parking lot by the restrooms. The trail has a slight elevation gain but is great for hikers of all ages. The trail winds through woods and meadows and offers beautiful views of the surrounding terrain and stream. Once close to the falls the trail leads you next to the stream
and you can hear cascading water in the distance. At this point you will experience a slight drop-off that the kids may need help with. Once you reach the falls you can cross a very small log bridge to the east side of the stream to get a great view of the falls and the donut which the falls are named after. We do not advise climbing up the rock to view the "donut hold" as this rock is very slippery.
If you do so, do it at your own risk. People from 1-2 years of age to the elderly were seen having a great time on the hike. Remember, this trail is very popular, so be prepared for the crowds.
