Trail Description:
This trail starts out as a sandy switchback that takes you up the canyon. Then it turns into a hardpacked single track and every once in a while double track. There are many ups and downs along with drops, technical sections and a beautiful river you follow. There are a couple other trails that cut off the main trail. They are fun, but not as great as the main trail. The Main Trail follows a river and at the end of the ride you end up at a beautiful Waterfall. Beware: You may have to carry your bike at the end because of large boulders, and the river. The trail is difficult but extremely rewarding. DON'T DRINK THE WATER
How to get there:
Get on Highway 89. If you are going to Ogden from Kaysville, it is on the right hand side of the road. You will see a Surf n' Swim Water tank next to the Highway on your left. You can then see the Parkinglot directly to your left. To get there, take your very next right, which puts you on a frontage road. Take that road back to the parking lot. The trail starts there. (You can see the singletracks from the highway!)

Nobody bikes this trail. It's not suitable for bikes.

The canyon is not for biking at all. The bike trail that you see is actually part of the Bonneville Shoreline trail, which has a parking lot access at Fernwood park. That is to the north just off of Fernwood Dr.

Great family hike. My four year old only needed assistance in the most difficult parts. Take your time and you'll be fine. Watch out for snakes. We had to move two rattlers off the trail.

I hiked this trail yesterday, and let me tell you, it is no trail for any kind of bike. It is barely a trail for hiking. The water through the end of june is so high that most of the groomed trails are washed away and you must make your own trail by hiking, climbing, and crawling through sometimes thick trees, bushes, and boulders to get to the 45 foot waterfall at the top. Only about the first 50% of the trail is in any condition for a bike, and over half of that is sand switchbacks. The trail does, however, lead you to a nice riding trail that runs along the front of the mountain range which looked like an excellent mountain biking trail that is in good condition. As for forging your way up Adams Canyon to the waterfall, leave that to a good pair of hiking boots and about three hours.

Not a very good trail to bike. Spent more time carring bike than riding it. Great trail to hike though!
