Confirmed from Canyon View Park'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.
Park on the Provo River with trails for walking and biking, fire pits, picnic tables, and a playground.

Just went there for the first time. Only walked a mile in one direction, but the paved path was in good condition and the views were really nice.
Nice little canyon. Also know as Tribble fork canyon or amaerican fork canyon. This is one of the entrances to the alpine loop and cascade springs. High traffic during camping season and weekends so adjust for that.
