A new section
of the Weber River Trail has been completed in Riverdale on November
15, 2002.
The
completed trail is the third segment of the Weber River
Pathway in Riverdale. The ten-foot wide, 1.8-mile long paved
trail runs along the Weber River, through cottonwood forest, and
wetlands areas. Included in the trail are three sections of boardwalk.
Beginning at 4400 South, the section of trail runs north to
the Riverdale City limits south of 31st street. The trail
was completed with the help of a grant from the Federal Highway
Administration.
The entire trail runs from a half mile south of the Riverdale
Civic Center, north under the Riverdale Road viaduct and continues
with the recently completed portion. The trailhead parking lots are
located just south of the Civic Center and at the north end of the trail off Parker Drive.
The entire river parkway consists of 2.12 miles of paved
trail for walking, running, biking, roller blades, wheel chairs
and strollers. The majority of the area along the trail will remain
in its natural state to protect habitat critical to wildlife.
