My wife and I are from Arizona and we’re on our way to Lehi Utah. Stop in Saint George for the night and rode this trail next morning and glad we did! We rid our Catrike Dumouts with E Assist from Tawa pond where we parked and rode up to the state park. Where we payed 5 dollar to get in! What a Beautiful Ride on on a well maintained path with scenic views and as you gradually go up the canyon. This is well worth the entrance fee. What a great way to start a morning. We we be back to ride this again
Easy goin trail…takes you through numerous parks…real nice for a quick, easy ride…
park at the TH just outside the north entrance of Snow Canyon Park and you park for free. Travel southward on Hiway 18 and connect to the Snow Canyon park trail in St Geo. I tried the loop counterclockwise (i was lured in this direction by the stellar views of the Park. I should have followed the reviews tho). The hills on this path are over 15% - there are 3 of them. on our ebikes they were still a struggle. although there is one big hill going northward in Snow Canyon Park (entrance fee is $5 per bike versus $15 for car), the top 1.5 miles where you share the park road allows you to maybe hitch a ride with a friendly vehicle going northward (and uphill) thus allowing you to complete the loop and not push your bike uphill for 1.5 miles. the use of internal combustion engines (unless you hitch a ride with an e-car) is the way to go.
The crazy thing is that the path designers should have used switchbacks on the steep hills (there was room on all the hills) instead of paralleling the highway. At times it made more sense to bike the highway to avoid the hills (the highway hills were at a less steep grade).
I rode this trail southbound in November 2020. The path parallels Highway 18 with adequate separation. There are some pavement cracks, but not bad.
The upper part by Snow Canyon are flat and benign. The lower portion is a bit more fun. The path does not follow the grade of the road but the natural elevations up and down outside of the road cuts. I call it a "Roller Coaster". Riding south is fairly easy, but riding north would be quite a challenge with some 10% grades.
I made a clockwise loop with Snow Canyon for a fun late-fall ride.
This is a wonderful path with a gentle slope that is lovingly maintained. You wind along the river, by golf courses and parks. We jumped on from the south end and rode to the end and back in 1 1/2 hours. Not crowded — just a few walkers and cyclists.
Location: St George, UT
Trail Condition: Wide pavement in good condition.
Signage: This trail is signed as SR18 vice the TrailLink identification as Highway 18 trail. St George trail system has excellent signage.
Comments: This is an uphill trail if starting in St. George and going north. Change in elevation of 1,100 ft. Several of the hills on the trail are steep. We made a loop by taking the Snow Canyon Trail (State Park) route back. Was nice downhill for that portion. The trail parallels the highway but far enough away from the highway to not be bothersome. This trail gets out of town into the desert and surrounding red rocks, beautiful scenery. Combined with the Snow Canyon Trail this makes a great ride. Recommend this loop ride. We liked the counterclockwise direction. Can’t say enough good things about the St George trail system and parks, can only get better with time and more inter-connectabilty (if such a word).
Trail Condition: Wide pavement in good condition.
Signage: Could be better. Had one confusing intersection and had to ask for directions. From Ivins just parallel the road.
Comments: We combined this trail with SR18 (Highway 18) trail starting in St. George, following SR18 trail to end and then entering Snow Canyon State Park on the north end ($5 fee for the two of us). Had to ride the park road for 1.5 mile to start of Snow Canyon trail. Since SR18 trail is all uphill this trail is then a downhill ride and real sweet. Scenery is beautiful and worthy of the effort. Once out of the state park the ride is fine and parallels the road. Recommend this loop ride. We liked the counterclockwise direction. Can’t say enough good things about the St George trail system and parks, can only get better with time and more inter-connectabilty (if such a word).
Location: Santa Clara, UT
Trail Condition: Wide pavement in good condition with a brand new section of trail at the north end of trail. A very short section of trail is gravel and still under construction but passable.
Signage: While not listed as a St George trail, trail signage is the same as the others in the area.
Comments: As the name implies the trail follows alongside an ancient lava flow. It is an up and down affair, not flat at all. Still a very nice trail. The north end of trail is new and extended along a wash to end at the Archie H. Gubler Park. A nice addition to the trail. Can’t say enough good things about the St George trail system and parks, can only get better with time and more inter-connectabilty (if such a word).
Location: St George, UT
Trail Condition: Wide pavement in good condition.
Signage: St George trail system has excellent signage.
Comments: Trail follows along Sand Hollow wash and away from traffic. Passes by a large bike park. Not a long trail but a nice quiet ride. Can connect with the longer Lava Flow trail to the west.

Location: St George, UT
Trail Condition: Wide new pavement in very good condition from Bloomington Park south.
Signage: St George trail system has excellent signage.
Comments: When we rode this trail last March this section of the trail was closed for repaving. They did a very nice job on this section of trail. Now need to repave the northern section of trail. The trail nicely parallels the river and away from traffic. Very nice trail. TrailLink implies that the south end of trail has a split and both spurs are part of Virgin River South Trail. However, the spur to the left (going south) is signed as Atkinville Trail. The trail goes a short distance then a break in the trail and picks up again for a short distance further on. Can’t say enough good things about the St George trail system and parks, can only get better with time and more inter-connectabilty (if such a word).
Location: St George, UT
Trail Condition: Wide pavement in very good condition. One underpass had warning about water in low areas and it really did have some water on the trail. Nothing real serious but did get feet a little wet from splash.
Signage: St George trail system has excellent signage.
Comments: This trail follows along Halfway Wash and away from busy street traffic. Passes through one of the nice St. George city parks. Has a number of bridge crossing over the wash. Trail connects to other trails for lots of ride options. Can’t say enough good things about the St George trail system and parks, can only get better with time and more inter-connectabilty (if such a word).
