Confirmed from Porter Rockwell Trail - Draper Park 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.

What runners say about Porter Rockwell Trail - Draper Park Trailhead

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (8 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

Super pretty trail that runs from north to south Draper. Paved trail, always kept up really well. Mostly flat, more of an incline as you get further north. Connects the Draper city park and the Draper cycle park. Mile markers also listed to the side of the paths, great for tracking your work out.

★★★★★ — Captain , May 2019

This is a beautiful trail. It's especially good for people that want a trail that feels safe and close to other people. Not an issue for me, but I know that keeps people away from trails sometimes.

★★★★★ — Jeremy , Apr 2019

Awesome long paved trail with few road crossings. Able to connect to a variety of other trails.

★★★★★ — Jonathan , May 2020

This trail is a great opportunity for hikers, bikers, runners, and adventure walkers alike. The trail is paved, peaceful, and has markers every quarter of a mile with a good amount of small hills. It was really shady the first mile, and got a little sparse in between.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
