Walk the Logan River Trail
Enjoy a flat, paved stroll beneath a canopy of changing leaves that follows the river from Ray Hugie Park to the mouth of the canyon.
Itinerary tips
- 1Park at Ray Hugie Hydro Park for the most direct access to the scenic river section without the need for permits.
- 2Allocate 60 to 90 minutes for a round-trip stroll if you plan to walk the full 3.5-mile segment to the canyon mouth.
- 3Bring a light jacket even in summer, as the dense tree canopy and river proximity keep temperatures significantly cooler than the city.
- 4Stop by the nearby Gossner Foods before your walk to pick up local squeaky cheese curds for a quintessential Cache Valley snack.
- 5Watch for bikers and joggers, as this is a popular multi-use path for Logan locals commuting and exercising.
- 6Use the restroom at the park trailhead, as facilities are scarce once you move further into the shaded canyon sections.
