Confirmed from Ogden River Parkway'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.
Kid-friendly hiking area along the Ogden River that also features picnic tables and fishing.
What runners say about Ogden River Parkway
“Beautiful trail along the Ogden river with many things to do and see also has a skate park”
I remember when they first started to build this trail. My first time walking the trail. I was with a good friend. When we reached the end of it. It seemed very short. My friend and I were talking at the end of the trail. About how we wished it were a longer walk.
Nice trail along the along River for walking or biking. Parts of it floods after a big rain.
These are the kinds of things that we should be promoting is Ogden lights to people who come here on a vacation just to visit friends who knows what they're here for, but most of them gets stuck indoors never even experiencing a fraction of Utah Ogden has tremendous beauty that we have all around us.
Really nice little trail. Only explored south of Lorin Farr Park, need to check out the section to the north. Great for walking and the casual bike ride.
