SALT LAKE CITY — Gov. Spencer Cox announced Tuesday the completion of the master plan map for the Utah Trail Network, a visionary system that will eventually include 3,100 miles of connected paved trails across the state.

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) designated 2,600 miles of new trails and integrated 500 miles of existing paths into the network. Once complete, officials estimate that 95% of all Utahns will live within one mile of the trail system.

Cox made the announcement during the Utah Transportation Conference, stating the network will connect 208 towns, 33 universities, six national parks, and 25 state parks. He stated, “We need to spend more time outside, more time connecting with people and more time exercising, and the way we do that is through our trail system.”
