Confirmed from Wilderness Park Trail'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 Wilderness Park Trail
“Beautiful hike but not a lot of markers along the trail so it's easy to lose your way.”
“Nice easy trails if you don't mind the constant mag dumps at the shooting range”
I liked this hike. You'll find lots of shades. It feels like you are on a maze. There is a type of challenge at the beginning, you have to find 17 posts during the hike. We didn't know about it until we finished. Kids friendly. There is some road constructions on the area, be aware.
Super nice set of trails. Different routes everywhere. Will take some time to try them all. Beautiful scenery everywhere you look.
Great place to go on a family hike, a trail run or a mountain bike ride.
The Kaysville East Mountain Wilderness Park is one of my favorite places to take my doggo for a quick hike. The trail system is large enough to not feel crowded, even during busy times. There are several campgrounds, an orienteering course, and beautiful views.
Trail conditions & character
“If you take some of the branch off trails you can find some very brautiful views of the city.”
