Mountain Biking Bonneville Shoreline Trail - Layton Section
#216 of 710 mountain bike trails in Utah
This trail has some great singletrack and pretty good variety for being so close to town. There are open, exposed areas, narrow and twisty through the trees, and even a couple spooky drops and creek crossings. There are a myriad of side trails to explore, but the main route is the best. The interesting parst are great--if it was more consistently interesting, it would rate higher. You will have great views of the valley whenever you're not in the trees. There is a gun range below part of the trail--don't let the shooting worry you.

Heading south on 89 (from Ogden), go past highway 193 (aka E 7th). Very soon, look carefully across the highway for a left turn (to the right, it is Hobbs Cr Drive--to the left, it leads to Valley Vier Drive. Immediately after crossing the highway at the T, follow Valley View to the right. Go left on Fernwood and squiggle your way up the bench. At the next T, follow Fernwood to the right. Stay straight on Fernwood. YOu will see a mansion on your left just before the gate. Park n' ride.
This section is very busy as it is part of the kaysville wilderness area. However, the BST is the access to the Bikers Edge Battle loop which is awesome. The Battle loop is well maintained and offers some technical riding sections. This is a great training loop and has a few great views. The other big bonus is that there are rest rooms at the trail head with a water fountain. There are also campsites throughout the Wolderness area which are free as long as you register with the City of Kaysville.
