Doughnut Falls (also spelled Donut Falls) is a waterfall on a tributary of Big Cottonwood Creek where the creek drops through a hole in an overhanging ledge. The Forest Service trailhead sits in Big Cottonwood Canyon roughly nine miles up the canyon road from the mouth. The short hike is one of the Wasatch Front's busiest waterfall walks, and the canyon is a protected municipal watershed with animal restrictions.
