I wanted to write a review since there hasn’t been one since 2020. Great trail, gentle hills and slopes and the trail goes along some businesses and soccer fields etc but stays right along the Virgin River the whole way although it isn’t always visible. There are rest stops and bathrooms along the way as well. Trail has had some repairs so it’s in good shape. Would highly recommend for the length of the ride, its connections to quite a few other trails and for the mountain views!
I rode my street bike from the Triumph trailhead south to just past MM 15 and back. The grade is slightly uphill as you go upstream (south) and downhill heading back, so it's an easy ride. I saw horses, big-horn sheep, and pronghorn antelope.
My main issue is that the signage makes it difficult to be sure which segment is the main Jordan River trail. There are a lot of branches, and I got lost a couple of times, but Google Maps got me back on course. The pavement in the older sections is a little bumpy at the joints.
Still, a worthwhile ride.
This has a nice paved trail. It is steep in some areas but our electric bikes did fine. Lots of people walking and it was wonderful. Short ride for electric but probably average for regular bikes or walking.
Good trail to get from the campgrounds to town.
Mostly city trail turns into industrial not much to see.
This was a great trail to ride and the scenery is amazing. Definitely will ride it many more times.
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.
The road is smooth but there is absolutely no shade.
Rode from Sevier River RV park down to the end at Big Rock Candy Mountain resort area (and back). Beautiful! Smooth paved trail down a canyon next to a river and non-busy highway. Beautiful high canyon walls.
Rode it on my ebike early in the morning before it got hot . 28 miles r/t from down town. It has a healthy climb .Take the 2.5 mile side trip along the Colorado River . Also have a burger a Milts Burger and shakes while in Moab there the Best
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.
