About This Trail

Imported description

The trail was built over the canal. The paved trail leads from seven communities in the Utah Valley to a dirt path. The trail is marked every quarter-mile and has restroom facilities on every three miles. There is a short gap in the trail that can be bridged with the use of the bike lanes or sidewalk on the road. There are paved trails in Highland Glen Park. The canal trail is just south of the park.
