The Legacy Nature Preserve loop from Center St @ 891 W is a fantastic touring cycling trail that offers a smooth, easy ride through a vibrant wetland ecosystem. You'll pedal along the paved Legacy Parkway Trail, enjoying constant views of the Legacy Nature Preserve's 2,100 acres of wetlands, home to countless bird species. The route also provides picturesque backdrops of the Great Salt Lake, Antelope Island, and the Wasatch Mountains, making it a visually rewarding 16.2-mile (26.1 km) journey.
This easy 1 hour and 27 minute ride, with only 79 feet (24 metres) of elevation gain, is ideal for beginners, families, or anyone seeking a relaxed outing. Access the trail conveniently from Center St. While some amenities are available, it's always a good idea to bring your own water and snacks. Consider visiting during migratory seasons for prime bird-watching, or in the evening to catch a stunning sunset over the Great Salt Lake.
Beyond its scenic beauty, the Legacy Parkway Trail is a vital link in the Golden Spoke trail network, connecting to over 100 miles of paved trails. Interpretive signs along the way provide insights into the ecological importance of the wetlands, making it an educational as well as enjoyable experience. It's a key route for experiencing the natural side of Davis County.
