Summary: The Bonneville Shoreline Trail (BSLT) is a hiking and bicycle path running across the foothills of the Wasatch Range along a route that follows the eastern shoreline of ancient Lake Bonneville. My report refers to the North Davis County sections, East of Layton, Kaysville and Fruit heights. Since there are multiple access points and its proximity to the local community the BSLT is a heavily used trail by joggers hikers and mountain bikers. The trail runs along the 5200 feet level usually just above the homes and farms of these three small communities The BSLT is perfect for an evening hike or a early morning walk or bike ride. Few people walk the trail from end to end most prefer a mile or two out and back. While on the trail you will enjoy deer and birds and the peaceful sounds of any of the seven creeks that cross the trail The views are beautiful with the Great Salt lake and Antelope Island to the West, the sunsets are incredible. Trailhead: There are at least 5 different places you can access this trail, from Hwy 89 West of Kaysville, Layton and Fruit Heights. The Baer Creek trail head off Nicholas road in Fruit Heights. Kaysville East Mountain park off East 200 North. Adams Canyon trail head off 1200 North and East side road. Fernwood Park West of Layton off East 500 North. and Fernwood drive and Haney Hill road.

Reviewed by JT on 5/27/2004 This is very close to home. I ride my horses on it alot in fall/winter/spring. It is west facing and gets warm in the summer months. Because it is west facing it's snow melts off fast, making it an excellent winter trail. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
