is the Jordan River Parkway Trail - Facts
(mouse over)
 |
The Jordan River flows over 50 miles from Utah Lake north to the Great Salt Lake and flows through three counties - Utah, Salt Lake and Davis. The goal for the Jordan River Trail is to create a continuous, non-motorized, paved trail system along the river extending from its headwaters at Utah Lake in Utah County to a connection with the Legacy Parkway Trail in Davis County near the Great Salt Lake - a distance of approximately 40 miles.
The Google Earth map above presents the current state of the paved sections (green) of the Jordan River Parkway Trail as of November 17, 2009 as well as existing dirt sections (brown), suitable for hiking or mountain biking and roadway connections (red) between discontinuous trail sections. Extra features such as paved parking areas and restrooms are also shown.
