We ask you to stay out of new construction areas, lots of sharp machinery and tools in random locations!

South Summit County Weekend Trail Report: This photo is of the Stevens Grove Trail in Oakley. Look at the ugly track that this fat bike tire has made. Weather is nice, and I know it’s tempting, but using the trails while they are muddy creates permanent damage that cannot be undone. 😱 Fat bikers, mountain bikers, and horse riders please stay off the trails until they are dry. Or consider donating to our organization in the form of a membership and your dollars will go towards fixing the trails after the damage has been done. Horse riders use the Yellow…

Once a new trail is cut by a trail builder it still requires a small army of volunteers in order to get it ready for use.

Get outside this week and take the family snowshoeing at the Oakley Trail Park. The trail has been used quite a bit this winter, but you could make some fresh tracks in the new snow we just received from Mother Nature. Moose have been sighted on the trail so be aware of wildlife while on the trail. Get out for a snowshoe at the new Oakley Trail Park this week! You'll be glad you did.

The Stevens Grove Trail is magical in the wintertime! ❄️ This trail really could use some snowshoe love to make the trail easy for other users - especially in the back section of the trail. The front half is pretty easy to walk in, as it's been more well used this winter. Don’t forget to carry your pet's waste out. Now let’s get outside!! ⛄️

The communities of ‘South Summit’ are, arguably, late to the public trails agenda but with the creation of the South Summit Trails Foundation, trails advocates are finally organized and engaged. Trail systems provide not only recreational amenities but crucially alternative transportation routes and an economic stimulus. Along the Wasatch Front, core routes such as the Jordan River Parkway, Bonneville Shoreline and Murdock Canal trails have become key commuter connectors. Trail complexes like Corner Canyon in Draper, American Fork Canyon, and others in Park City, Heber, Midway and Moab have proven to be economic drivers.
