Residents in the neighborhood in front of the new Bonneville Shoreline Trail are worried about how an influx of hikers, bikers and other recreationists might affect the open space around them.
Established route between Parleys Canyon and the Pipeline Trail in Mill Creek Canyon set to be finished before the end of the year.
“I definitely feel for people and I can understand how it happens because they’re just like, ‘Oh, I just need to get to the bottom, I need to get to the street,’” Lipani said. “And half the time they’re tired because they’ve been out for a while and now they’re lost and they just want to get to the road.
“It’s amazing and wonderful,” John Knoblock, the chairman of the BST Committee, said of the construction of the connector trail. “After decades of planning it’s finally happening.When first conceptualized in the early 1990s, the BST was envisioned as a 280-mile, bike-accessible path that would follow the ancient shoreline of Lake Bonneville from Idaho to Nephi along the Wellsville and Wasatch ranges.
and tasked the state’s Division of Outdoor Recreation with distributing it. Program specialist Patrick Morrison said the money was mainly earmarked for purchasing land. Construction of the two-mile multi-use trail is scheduled to begin in mid-August and wrap up by November. It will link the section of BST that starts at the Grandeur Peak Face trailhead off of Wasatch Boulevard to the west end of the Pipeline Trail in Mill Creek Canyon, just above the Skyline “S.” In doing so, it will create 10 continuous miles of BST and provide easy access to the abundance of trails and wilderness in the canyon. On-leash dogs will be allowed on the trail.
Trails Utah and the BST Committee are working with the Office of Outdoor Recreation to advocate for the legislature to approve more money to be spent on acquiring land for trails — especially in light of the uptick in trail use since the pandemic and plans to expand the BST to 380 miles to include trails on the west side of the valley. The BST Committee would next like to, but it needs to access to three parcels of private land to make that happen.
