GPS for Trailheads - Jordan River Parkway

 Jordan River Parkway

The Jordan River Parkway weaves in and out of urban areas, parks and marshy riversides as it follows the Jordan River, traversing north from Utah Lake through Salt Lake County to Davis County. Although still under development, the trail offers more than 23 trailheads, most of which have restrooms and water fountains and some of which have picnic areas and playgrounds. The paved trail will be more than 40 miles once complete.

The zero mile marker is at N40.35142 W111.90317 in Utah County, alongside Saratoga Drive. The trail goes 9 miles north to the Jordan Narrows Trailhead, just past the county line in Utah County, following the river closely, then has a 10 percent grade up to the Jordan Narrows, where trail-goers will enjoy wide vistas. At that point, there is a 3-mile gap to the Spring View Farms Trailhead on 14600S. The Salt Lake County website provides a map of other gaps in the trail. Its asphalt surface ends at N. Redwood Road.
