The Germania trails make a great family ride for kids who are ready to try some real dirt. There's a picnic pavilion right at the parking area, about 150 feet from the trail. There's grass for family games. And the Jordan River Parkway is right there, if somebody wants to crank out some miles.
OK, so why is this tiny trail listed on a mountain biking site? The Germania Dirt Trail, as far as I know, is the only official bicycle singletrack on the Salt Lake Valley floor. It connects to the Jordan River Parkway trail, which sees a lot of bicycle traffic. So it offers some unique opportunities. The trails are stuffed into a small wild area between the paved Jordan River Parkway trail and the cindered "horse route" along the river bank. The trail has lots of twists and turns, and is fun for riders of all abilities.
