Confirmed from Lakeshore Bridge Trailhead'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.
Paved, riverfront trail that’s also popular for biking and running, with duck sightings.

One of the most beautiful areas in Provo. Such a fun running trail or taking pictures with the family. Usually very secluded, quiet, and beautiful. Trailhead has parking, small park and bathrooms. Little pockets of homemade swings and fun along the trail.
You can some beautiful running out there. Great dog walking place. Great photography place as well.
If you treat this as a trailhead instead of as a "park", you'll be very impressed. Small parking lot, very clean restrooms, bike repair station, and plenty of shade. It's quiet here, and all you can hear is the river and the birds.
Great lake view somewhat quiet good trail to get away on during the day. Wear mosquito repellent sunscreen and have plenty of water with yea to stay hydrated safety first.
