Park and Trails
Located in Utah Valley, the pristine Murdock Canal Trail, which opened in May 2013, is built over the now-enclosed canal. The beautiful 17-mile paved trail connects seven communities in the Utah Valley and has an adjacent dirt path for equestrian use. The trail is marked every quarter-mile and has established trailheads with restroom facilities and running water about every three miles.
Pleasant Grove offers two trailheads: one at 1100 N. 600 E., and the other at N. Canyon Road (SR 146) and Canyon Heights Drive.
