The singletrack trail renaissance in Utah continues as even more dirt miles have been added to the Wasatch. Oakley City, along with the South Summit Trails Foundation, have built a brand new Oakley Trail Park. About three miles of non-motorized trail have been cut for mountain biking and hiking. There’s everything from beginner to expert and even downhill-only flow trails.
Oakley Trail Park
The new Oakley Trail Park is located just east of the town of Oakley at the mouth of Seymour Canyon. The system was just completed a few weeks ago and they are now ready for public use. This is phase one. Along with the finished trails, phase two includes plans to build a jump line, skills trail and pump track. The system includes 3 mountain bike flow tracks called “Barrel Racer,” “Rodeo” and “Buckaroo”.
Grand Opening
To celebrate the Oakley Trail Park completion, there will be a grand opening on Friday, September 21st at 6 p.m. According to South Summit Trails Foundation, this will be an informal gathering at the trailhead to party and ride or hike the new singletrack. The local ‘Chevron Bakery Donuts’ will be served, along with apple cider and hot cocoa. There will also be guided walks and rides of the new trail.
Getting There
From the town of Oakley, take State Road 32 southeast for 1 mile. Then turn east onto Boulderville Road and follow it for 2.2 miles as it curves north and becomes 1000 East. Then the road curves to the east again, becomes Pinion Lane and quickly curves north. A few hundred feet past Oakley Artesian Water building on the left, look for a parking lot on the left side of the road.
