Confirmed from Jordan River Parkway Trailheads' 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.
Mountain trail that’s popular for biking and walking dogs.
What runners say about Jordan River Parkway Trailheads
“Paved and always clean, but the river definitely needs our attention.”
“Walk it nearly every day summer and winter, beautiful walk between 2nd south and 17th south if you're in the city.”
Love this place would give it five stars but recently I have been seeing lazy cops driving cars up and down the trail I was by the multicultural center come around the corner and Bam a car ran me right off the trail needless to say I got like twenty thorns in my tires even though the sign clearly states no motor…

Need more lights is on the West side people are crazy and my daughter walks through their coming home from work into the dark show pics of governor
Living next to the JRT had been so awesome. We go on it everyday. It's so nice to have a pedestrian/bike friendly place to go on walks with children and dogs. I've also biked on it from Draper to SLC and it is a really enjoyable and friendly ride because it is mostly flat and lots of shade.
