Confirmed from Canyon Creek Drive Trailhead's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Shaded hiking route, also popular with mountain bikers and snowshoers, featuring creeks and meadows.
What runners say about Canyon Creek Drive Trailhead
“Great trail, pretty well maintained for bikers and hikers”
“The angle of the trail makes it one of the few Wasatch Front trails that is heavily wooded and shady.”
Fantastic hiking and mountain biking area. The trail network just keeps getting better and better. Thank you to everyone involved.
Great trail for hiking or biking. Super smooth and fun to ride. You have about a mile of pretty steep fire road before you hit the single track but then it's very nice and super pretty. Didn't get all the way to the top but I've heard going down the other side is great as well. Definitely go check it out.
This is a wide trail, traveled by recreational and 4x4 vehicles. It requires a bit of a lift to make it to the north canyon trail head father up the trail. There is beautiful creeks and meadows on both sides but most of it is fenced, private property. Its often quiet and fairly secluded.
This trail is the southern end of the more popular Mueller Park Trail. It is well marked. The angle of the trail makes it one of the few Wasatch Front trails that is heavily wooded and shady. It is a great hike for a hot day and easy to get to.
