Let's talk Trail Quality & Safety: Like all trails we've skated, or cycled, over 3 plus decades, we've found most trails are simply not maintained. Legacy is another of those underfunded trails with deteriorated pavement, tar snakes, pavement gaps, and treacherous wooden bridge crossings with popping planks, in other words unsafe for skating. Legacy trail is in dire need or resurfacing. You're okay peddling a bike, but on skates or even running, it's surface quality is sketchy at best.
If only the municipalities along it's corridor, responsible for it's maintenance and upkeep, would invest the funding necessary to make Legacy a top rate trail. Trail maintenance is funded through municipal budgets, as cities and counties cannot bond public tax dollars for upkeep and maintenance. As result most trails in Utah, like Legacy, fall victim to no funding or priority given by municipalities for their upkeep. Despite decades of advocating request fall upon deaf ears. It's been disappointing to say the least to see such potential for what could be a top notch trail have basic maintenance be ignored.
Utah also needs laws for e-bikes on their trails. A 60# e-bike moving at +30mph poses threat to runners, skaters, walkers, and cyclists.
This is a beautiful ride, but so many gates make it unbearable. Will not do it again.
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 absolutely love riding this trail. It’s the perfect length for our family rides. I have a 7yr and 5yr old and they love the change ins scenery, cool tunnels, roadside playgrounds, and places to eat in Farmington when we are done. Sometimes my 7yr old rides his own r-bike, the trail is plenty wide enough and very well maintained. Some parts don’t have shade and some do, which is normal from what I’ve experienced. It’s full paved so nothing harsh on the bike. It’s our go to trail!
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.
We rode this trail today from Coalville to Park City and back. It's a nice ride and the noise from i80 was not as bad as we expected.
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.
This is a great ride with beautiful scenery but…the last leg after going through Coalville is a carpet of “goat head puncture weeds” so you had better have very puncture resistant tires on your bike. This trail really needs some love from whoever is charged with caring for it. I have never seen so many puncture weeds on one trail. My friend had to replace both inter tubes after our ride.
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!
