Rotary Glen Park
Canyon trailhead with creek swimming and elevation
About this park
An Emigration Canyon trailhead park with short hiking loops, elevation change, brushy hillsides, and a small creek for swimming. The fencing is partial at best, and reviewers disagree about whether off-leash use is allowed; what's clear is that confident, recall-trained dogs use it heavily. The bumpy lot and dirt access road set the tone for the rough-edge experience.

Synthesized from 177 Google reviewsReviewers love the trail variety, the creek depth options for dogs of different confidence levels, and the genuine canyon-edge feel a few minutes from downtown.
A smaller, more outdoorsy crowd than the central SLC parks. Many visitors here are pairing the dog walk with a bike ride or hike up Emigration.

Before you go
The park is only partially fenced and sits along a busy canyon road, so off-leash use requires solid recall. The parking lot is rough, so go slow on the dirt approach.
