Print Friendly MapThe Historic Utah Southern Rail Trail runs 3.5 miles through Lehi, about 20 miles south of Salt Lake City, along a Utah Transit Authority rail corridor.
At its northwest end near the Flight Park State Recreation Area, the trail connects seamlessly to the Point of the Mountain Trail, which continues north.
Heading southeast from the recreation area, the Historic Utah Southern Rail Trail travels though a mix of residential neighborhoods and sprawling retail complexes, roughly paralleling Interstate 15. The trail is wide and paved, offering plenty of room for both bicycle and pedestrian users. There is a pedestrian bridge over the Timpanogos Hwy/UT 92. The views are mostly of open countryside, but shaded benches along the way offer comfortable places to rest.
At Timpanogos Hwy/UT 92, trail users looking for a longer trek will want to pick up the new Murdock Canal Trail, which extends southeast all the way to Orem. Rail history buffs may instead want to head a little farther south from the trail's end to visit the state's oldest railroad depot at 225 E State Street. The trail does not yet reach the depot, but it's hoped to one day and also continue farther south to the city's boundary with American Fork.
Parking is available in a small paved lot mid-trail, across from Sunset Corner Park (2586 Sunset Dr, Lehi).

It was so great to ride over Timpanogos Hwy this morning!
Trail close due to building an overpass to I-15.
Lehi has closed the trail indefinitely. Freeway construction has also closed parts of the trail until summer of 2020
I rode this from Route 89 to the Murdock Trail. It is very nice to have trails without vehicles where bikers and walkers can get around. Only reason for four stars is that there is no major attraction along the way, such as a river or above average views. I'm still very grateful for this trail.
