Salt Lake officials and partners opened Butterfield Trail Regional Park in Herriman on Thursday, providing more than 13 miles of multi-use trail within the Southwest Canyon Trails Network.
HERRIMAN — A Salt Lake County trail more than 20 years in the making opened Thursday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony welcoming hikers, trail runners, mountain bikers and equestrians to use reclaimed mining land alongside a clear stream, surrounded by greenery and smells like fresh-cut flowers.
Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation director Martin Jensen told KSL.com that the conversation about turning the mining land into a trailhead spanned more than 20 years. Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson holds the ceremonial scissors during the ribbon-cutting ceremony for Butterfield Trailhead Regional Park, which will offer 14 miles of trails for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians near Herriman in Utah County on Thursday.
Both Jensen and Clayton emphasized their excitement for such a beautiful outdoor recreational space so close to Salt Lake City. Jensen said the beauty and seclusion of the trail can make trail users forget they are in Salt Lake County.
