Confirmed from Tunnel Springs Park'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 venue amid rolling hills featuring playground equipment and tennis courts.
What runners say about Tunnel Springs Park
“The biking path is especially beautiful throughout the year as it offers a meandering path following a narrow small valley with trees right and left.”
The Tunnel Springs Park in North Salt Lake is a nice little park that offers a great space for children of all ages to play and walk around the park, but the real treasure of the park is that it is the gate to dozens of hiking trails!
Beautiful spot to take in the view of the Great Salt Lake and surrounding valley. The rolling hills and tunnels carved through the brush makes exploring any time of year worthwhile. Great place for the pup to explore and get his energy out, all while feeling like you’re far enough away from it all.
I love taking clients here for photos. There is PLENTY of room for lots of people to be shooting at the same time. Lots of different looks you can get here. And there is a pavilion and playground for gathering to just hang out too. Nice paths to bike or walk on.
This is one of the most beautiful parks I've seen in Utah! Huge square. Very beautiful views. A great place for beautiful photos and visual enjoyment. A great place to spend the golden hour here and meet the sunset. There is also a place where you can eat, go to the toilet. Dogs-friendly. Kids-friendly.
