Compacted ground, you can ride your cyclocross bike on this trail and it is mostly flat as it follows the old railroad. Groomed in the winter for cross country skiing.

A small section is washed out with water flowing through in the 248 to Promontory section, but it has several planks across it so its passable.

      Weber River flooded a section soon eastward of Wanship. Quite deep. Recommend detouring via Hoytsville Rd at the trailhead parking lot just past Wanship and getting back on the Rail Trail where Hoytsville Rd crosses I-80 - take a left down River Bend Rd and hike-a-bike back to the Rail Trail (easy hike-a-bike).

      No comments… this runs between E/W I 80 so… know that. But it’s a nice rail trail all the way to Coleville. It’s pretty with a creek all the way down the middle. A bit of a slog back west so if you aren’t committed, consider a shuttle to Wanship. Fun historical signs on the route that are atypical for Utah (the “Snow Train” was a total booze cruise)

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
