The area around the lake is flat and easy to explore.
Jesse L / Google Maps There’s a wonderful place to stroll called the Utah Lake Shoreline Trail. This trail wraps around the edge of the lake by the Provo Municipal Airport.
The trail is clearly defined and well maintained.
Tawny Winward / AllTrails It’s easy to follow and parallels the shoreline. It varies between paved asphalt and a packed dirt path.
Even though it’s a long hike at 10 miles, it’s easy to walk.

You’ll see many boaters while out on your stroll.

Bring a picnic if you’d like to sit and enjoy the view on your walk.

Before you know it, you’ll have spent the entire day enjoying the beauty of Utah Lake State park.
