Kudos to the Jordan River Commission for spearheading development of this water trail in the last few years. Good access points and clear portages around barriers invite even the most novice paddlers to experience the water. The river is rare in that most of it can even be paddled upstream.

However, the Jordan River suffers from severe water diversions that lower the river level at the expense of ecology and float-ability. Parts of the river can rarely be paddled. Hopefully the water trail will increase awareness of water issues in the Salt Lake Valley.
