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.
