Confirmed from Jordan River Parkway Trail'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 Trail
“Quiet walk between a river and a golf course!”
We spent a couple of hours walking around this trail area. It’s nice and level so it’s an easy hike, plus there is a wide concrete path that you can walk on. There are also many other unpaved paths, if you want to get off of the man pathway. There are some areas where you can walk down to the edge of the Jordan River.
I love the trail definitely a great way to enjoy the outdoors in salt lake and the parks along are great too.
Nice place for a walk or bicycle ride. Just stay north of 1000 N for now.
Great trail. 52 miles long and joins with legacy. Multiple points bring in water from the various tunnels under the city. Also a great flood marker.
