About Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail State Park

This state park is a long recreational trail built on an abandoned railroad corridor in Summit County. The route begins in the Wasatch Mountains near Park City, crosses wetland meadows in Silver Creek Canyon, passes through Wanship and Coalville, and follows the Weber River to Echo Reservoir. Visitors can bike, hike, ride horses, cross-country ski, or walk along it. The trail also passes through areas tied to the region's coal and silver mining history.
