Confirmed from Jordan River Parkway'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.

What runners say about Jordan River Parkway

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (4 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Once you pass the city limits you enter to one of the wildest sections of the river trail. Watch the towers with fire on the east and enjoy especially while you go through the highway intersection area.

★★★★★ — Kerem , Apr 2018

Great spot on the Jordon river. Has playground for children and toilet facilities. Go North or South on the Jordon river trail for a great leisurely walk/run/ride.

★★★★★ — Gieselman , Oct 2016

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.

Posted hours for the park or trailhead. Gates and parking lots often close earlier than the trail itself, and seasonal hours change — worth a check before a pre-dawn or after-dark run.
