Bingham Creek Trail

1.6 mi RT
easy
year round

The Bingham Creek Trail is a pleasant 1.6-mile round trip walking path located along Bingham Creek in South Jordan, Utah. The first half-mile of the trail is on graded dirt and gravel before connecting to a concrete path in Teton Estates Park. This trail is suitable for children and adults of all abilities.

Trailhead

The Bingham Creek Trail begins at the Glenmoor Field parking area at 4600 West Skye Drive in South Jordan, Utah (40.577112, -111.999408).

To reach the trailhead from Bangerter Highway:

Turn east onto Skye Drive (9800 South).
Continue 1.4 miles to the Glenmoor Field parking area on the left.
The Hike

From the parking area, use the crosswalk to cross Skye Drive and begin hiking on the dirt and gravel path. The trail starts out a bit rough but is smooth for the rest of the distance. Continue hiking as the trail descends gradually along the edge of the Bingham Creek ravine.

After about one half mile, the gravel trail ends on Targhee Drive. Cross the street at the crosswalk and continue on the concrete path in Targhee Estates Park another 0.3 miles to the end of the trail at Colter Bay Circle.

The return hike is a little more strenuous as you climb nearly 80 feet back to the trailhead. Total round trip hiking distance is approximately 1.6 miles.
