The Glenwild to Flying Dog Trail and Union Pacific Rail Trail individually cover 16 and 27 miles, taking a day to complete.
Day Two: Acquaint with the Aquatic
A trip to Park City wouldn’t be complete without some action on the rapids. Park City hosts an expansive variety of rivers, making it the ideal destination for river rafting. The concept is simple – jump aboard an inflatable raft, grab a paddle, and steer your way down the river. The best places to enjoy river rafting are the Provo River or the Weber River, thanks to mild rapids. For the ultimate rafting experience, you can go for a guided river rafting tour. Park City has several experienced rafting companies, including Utah Outdoor Adventure, Park City Rafting, Destination Sports & Adventures, and All Seasons Adventures. The tours range from two-hour to full-day excursions and can accommodate people of different ages, making them ideal for wholesome family fun.
Aside from river rafting, Park City offers other thrilling on-water activities. You can hop on a paddle board and explore the water slowly. The best locations to go standup paddle boarding include Bear Lake, Tibble Fork Reservoir, Jordanelle Reservoir, Mirror Lake, and Deer Creek Reservoir. If you’d rather have an on-boat experience, Strawberry Reservoir offers 27 square miles of calm waters where you can go sailing. If you have young ones interested in learning how to sail, the Park City Sailing Association offers sailing lessons to young and old alike. If you’d prefer a nice swim, Cecret Lake, Rockport Reservoir, Deer Creek State Park, and Bridal Veil Falls are excellent places to cool off.
