Jordan River Parkway Trail

fun trail

April, 2025 by davidploehn

Every adventure available. Although I just heard some of the downtown paths are being shut down. Lots of homeless, drugs, anything you want. So that adventure will end for a while while the homeless find new places to live along the river. The never ending battle. Salt Lake just doesn’t want to fix any problems that federal funding doesn’t take care of. So they just push the problem around the valley. Interesting but it makes for a great adventure along the river. Great trail. Be sure and check out the Saratoga Hot Springs down by Utah Lake.

Bingham Creek Trail

Great trail for EVERYBODY!

March, 2025 by nationalparkcapable

I really enjoyed this trail. As a cycling and mom I would visit it again in biking with my kiddos but not for serious workout cycling

Jordan River Parkway Trail

Love the south part of the trail

March, 2025 by nationalparkcapable

I love this trail from Taylorsville to Saratoga springs. The more northern part has some sketchy parts you probably want to peddle fast in. I also wouldn’t take kids on the more northern part of it but from Taylorsville south it is great for kids and families!

Great for cycling but a part of the trail is closed almost every other week but I enjoy it still . More north has great hills to get a good workout

Denver and Rio Grande Western Rail Trail

beautiful gated ride

November, 2024 by davidploehn

This is a beautiful ride, but so many gates make it unbearable. Will not do it again.

Denver and Rio Grande Western Rail Trail

Unexpectedly nice trail but….The Barriers!!

October, 2024 by barbscondo

We started at Ellison Park. Rode thru the park and a short distance on sidewalk and easily hit the trail. Ride about 6-7 miles south. Nice trail with more shade than expected but nowhere to stop at a picnic bench. Trail in between beautiful houses with interesting back yards. Sadly not a trail I would do again because of the zig zag barriers at every street. Had to walk bikes through them. Really not necessary as the streets were not busy ones. The barriers were more of a hazard themselves.

Murdock Canal Trail

Utah’s Prettiest Bike Pathway

September, 2024 by roger.cottle

Fall 2024, this nicely completed trail meanders behind the backyards of north-east Utah Valley. Bridges, tunnels and simple road crossings dot the trail with beautiful mountain & valley views.

Denver and Rio Grande Western Rail Trail

Great pavement and super safe area

July, 2024 by tcmrryrb6g

Definitely an old railroad trail. Great Mountain views throughout. Walked in the middle of the afternoon on a very hot day, but there were great breezes throughout.

Clearfield Canal Trail

Clearfield Canal

July, 2024 by cg6fr7kh8d

Full sun. No direct parking but LDS Church vey nearby (in the morning shaded parking for a cool car when you return). To complete the whole path, you have to cross a couple of roads, including a busy highway, but cross walks nearby. One of those places you can enjoy the beauty of a more urban path. HAFB nearby, so you can see the jet against the mountains. All and all- not Bad

Jordan River Parkway Trail

Great stretch of Trail

July, 2024 by hchristopherheath

48 great miles of various riding terrane and features. Many parks along the path more concentrated in the city.

I would say that the section between General Holm Park and N Temple is a bit sketchy in spots but I never really felt in any danger; only a bit disconcerted. I saw the police in those areas clearing out the people loitering and sleeping along the rail.

21st Street Pond Trail

21 St. Pond Trail

July, 2024 by 4thebline

It's pretty nice most the way along! I go walking there quite a lot, when it's not too hot! I stop and take pictures of the pond, and also of the ducks, as well.
