The road is smooth but there is absolutely no shade.
Stayed at SLC KOA-ride down side street out of RV Park to the Little Cottonwood Park-can catch trail either north or south. We stayed and rode here in Oct of 2024-the south direction was blocked off at the time so we rode north. Cottonwood Park was a big homeless encampment but all that is cleared out now! Riding north is along the river for 5 miles and then it joins the Legacy Parkway Trail - it's just OK - BUT this year the north was blocked off so we were able to go south on the trail from Cottonwood Park. What a great ride. Really right on the water-lots of shade and curving path. Many parks and benches to stop at. Almost no homeless/aimless wanderers. We saw active police/city presence on the trail. There was a field off the trail that had 3 tents on it and a police car sitting there. By the time we returned the City was there with truck&trailer and had removed the encampment. Twice we saw a patrol car actually on the trail inching along checking for homeless. So this ride felt safer than our ride last October. We have never been bothered by the homeless although I know it can happen. We have ridden many trails with this problem (Tucson and CA) particularly. We liked this ride so much stayed an extra day and did it again. We only rode 12 miles down and then back-lots more miles we were not able to do.
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.
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
We rode this Oct 1st. We stayed at Lakeside RV Campground and were able to ride right out of the CG to the trail. The first 2-3 miles are so beautiful by the river and with a huge tree canopy. There are some pesky tree roots that have gone under the trail pavement making bumps. We just try to ignore the inconvenience. There’s a closure that’s shown on the map but an easy to follow diversion to get around and back on the trail. Then it goes thru some parks and underpasses and behind some nice houses.
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.
Long and good trail but not safe in early mornings cause guys hide in bushes and will appear out of nowhere and try to talk to you
The path was smooth and had recently been re-paved which made the ride smooth and consistent. There is a small parking lot at the beginning of the trail which we realized after we did the ride.
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.
I've ridden this trail on numerous occasions. I have a lot to say about it. First, let me say that I'm speaking to bikers; the trail would be too much for walkers and joggers. I've tried starting on the Porter Rockwell trail at the Northern most point, but, after several tries, I've concluded that the best spot to start is at Draper Park. There's good parking, bathrooms and an easy to find starting-out point. From the Park, of course it is a shorter route, but DON'T stop at the end of Porter Rockwell! Just continue straight ahead. The trail takes on a different name, and shortly thereafter, it moves away from Rte I-15 and gives you an awesome view of the activity on top of Point of the Mountain. The trail then continues along new housing on your left, and expansive views on the right. But again, don't stop. The trail goes past a relatively new tech building, and then, when it says End of Trail, turn right, go down the hill (go slowly, it is pretty steep), and follow the path to a new bridge (for bikes, etc., but not for motor vehicles) that crosses the #92 highway, and connects with the Murdock Canal Trail (for those of you who'd like to do another 18 miles one-way). Try it, I guarantee you'll love it. One more thing; the path is paved all the way, and is in excellent condition.
