Attention: North end of trail to close mid-March 2021. Information on Provo River Delta project Directions: It is best accessed by taking the Provo West Center Street exit off I-15, traveling west a couple of miles towards the state park; after crossing the Provo River, and before entering the gates to the park, turn right and travel north to the T junction (about 1 block) and then turn west (left) [into the parking lot]. [The trail goes north from the west end of this narrow parking lot]. ~ Merrill Webb Description: The trail starts just north of the Utah Lake State Park headquarters and is about 1 1/4 miles long. There are a few parking places before the trail head which is all black-topped to the end. It goes straight north bordered by Utah. Lake on the west and a lot of wet fields [in March] on the right (Provo side) or east side. It is a nice trail, especially in the mornings. ~ Merrill Webb Specialty Birds: (Spring & Summer) Osprey, Western & Clark's Grebe, Virginia Rail, Sora, Sandhill Crane, Ash-throated Flycatcher, Eastern Kingbird, Purple Martin, Common Yellowthroat, Green-tailed Towhee, Bullock's Oriole (Fall & Winter) American Tree Sparrow, White-throated Sparrow, Harris's Sparrow, eBird Data: |
