Confirmed from Lindon View Murdock Canal 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.
Popular paved trail for walking, biking, and jogging.

This is a great bike path! Beautiful views of both mountains and the Utah valley! There are many stops or trailheads with restrooms and water!
Such a great trial for biking and walking! It goes a long way!! Great view and lots of space! Not a lot of shade and you have to cross some busy roads, so beware of that. Not too hard of a ride. It’s paved :)
Great trail, had provided many hours of fun for me, my dog, and my family. A service greatly appreciated by many, and a wonderful place to enjoy the great outdoors.
Never had a bad experience hiking here, always fun to go. Whether it’s with friends or family or even for scouting, this is the go-to for a good hike. Definitely not the most laborious of treks, but it’s very enjoyable.
