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.
Dog-friendly and flat parkway featuring a river trail popular for walking, biking, and riding.
What runners say about Jordan River Parkway Trail
“I've been riding my bike from 7800 to Bangerter or so, and the trail is well maintained and has some great views, plenty of rest areas, and the people are almost always respectful.”
“But if you go in the morning or evening when it's not so hot, you can enjoy a long, quiet stroll with a minimum of foot and vehicle traffic.”
Great trail to ride your bike or scooter. Very beautiful with a pond and river with lots of ducks/wildlife. Close to a golf course.
I really love this area of the Jordan River Parkway Trail. I've been riding my bike from 7800 to Bangerter or so, and the trail is well maintained and has some great views, plenty of rest areas, and the people are almost always respectful.
Just live this trail. Dogs very welcome, bikers , hikers joggers and walkers. Many places to stop off to fish for those that love fish down river from the water sewage plant, or even go swimming in it. Serene and quiet, with many picnic, playground and.parking.
We had a lovely time walking on the trail. There’s not much shade, but the sun and wind felt good on our faces. There is a section that is burned as of May 2021.
