HYDE PARK, Utah — A new segment of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail will open Aug. 3 in Hyde Park Canyon. 

According to a press release, the new Hyde Park segment of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail spans 2.85 miles.

The Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation grant program and the Cache County RAPZ tax provided funding for the trail project.  Additionally, the press release said the city of Hyde Park collaborated with a willing landowner.

Opening celebration

To celebrate its opening, the city will host an event. On Aug. 3, “Breakfast at the BST” takes place from 7 to 11 a.m. 

According to the city of Hyde Park, the event is free and open to the public. Breakfast will be provided. Guests will be invited to participate in a fun run and raffle. They will also have an opportunity to learn from informational booths. 

A ribbon-cutting ceremony will mark the opening of the trail. 

It should be noted that the press release said there will be parking restrictions in the canyon that day beginning at 6:30 a.m. However, Cache Valley Transit will be offering a shuttle from City Hall to Hyde Park Canyon. 

What is the Bonneville Shoreline Trail? 

The Bonneville Shoreline Trail is a hiking trail that runs along the west slopes of the Wasatch Mountains and the east slopes of the Oquirrh Mountains. It sits on and near the shoreline bench of the ancient Lake Bonneville. 

The Salt Lake City Public Lands website said that the trail began in the 1990s. It was intended to provide a hiking and biking trail across the Wasatch Front. Since it began, it has grown to span six counties; reaching from Cache County to Utah County. 

One day, according to the BST website, it could be further expanded, reaching as far south as Juab County and as far north as the Idaho border. 

In the press release, Hyde Park said it is currently collaborating with Trails Cache, Smithfield, and North Logan to continue developing the trail. Currently, the group is seeking proposals from firms to complete a trail alignment study. The project received $50,000 in funding through the RAPZ tax.
