The numbers of ebikes traveling at high speeds on this trail has increased significantly. There have been fast cyclists on the trails for years but at least they were controlled by human muscle power. You now have an ebike going VERY fast only 2 feet from a pedestrian. One misstep from either and its going to be a very bad accident. I can see no attempt to control the type or speeds of the ebikes.
We stayed at Riverside RV Resort. Ride 0.4 mile from the RV park on Cottonwood St (no traffic) and you are the southern start of the trail. The first 2 miles are dirt (good dirt) smoother than some parts of the trail! Really great ride along the river. The Trail has some really smooth sections/some with pesky tree root upheavals/some with cracks. But it has all the things I love about good trails: lots of shade/hugs the river (beautiful)/ plank bridges back and forth across the river/NOT straight-lots of beautiful winding curves/lots to look at-flowers, ducks,geese. IMO not a high speed trail-just a cruiser due to some trail conditions. But we liked it so much stayed an extra day and rode it again.
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.
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.
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
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.
We started at the North end near the Dinosaur park. Awesome shade covers most of the trail the skirts the Ogden river. Trail is wide enough for comfortable traffic both ways. Plenty to see with the botanical gardens, parks, river stops, and runs by plenty of lunch options. We normally just keep going into the Weber River Trail. The Ogden River trail is one of favorite with our little ones. We feel safe and the trail is in great condition.
I was scared being a single woman alone! Homeless people and not being used by many others. Industrial area no pretty. South part of trail much better.
Nice long, safe trail. Pavement is good to great the whole way. Criticism that the double gated entries are a pain is valid, but they are combined with traffic control, or at least warning lights at every intersection - makes crossing the many roads very safe.
Not a lot of traffic - I could really cruise on my bike.
Take the train from downtown with your bike to Roy and ride back!
I started in Layton going south in October for a leisure ride, and my first few miles were just tedious with all the dangerous gates you have to virtually walk through...but the worst was the sea of gnats that covered me. It finally opened up a bit with fewer and less-trafficked crossings and fewer bugs, but of course I had to return... next time I'll drive to Farmington and head south.
Started at Jensen Nature Park with intent to ride the loop at south end of trail but lots of construction and confusing detours. Returned to Jensen Nature Park and rode north to W 300 N street. Looked like trail ended there, so turned around. My bad for not consulting map and would have seen left turn for short distance and then continue north. Oh well. There is some signage along the trail but only one sign post indicating Old Emigration Trail the remainders have other names for different segments, I guess. Anyway not a clearly marked trail and several places of construction on going. Trail surface was fine and plenty wide enough. Maybe at a later date if back in the area would give it another try.
