    We were staying with relatives north of Salt Lake City. After a morning flight and the drive to…read moretheir place, we had the rest of the afternoon free while they finished up at work. They recommended this spot if we wanted an easy hike nearby. The Preserve is at the end of a road in a large marshland. It is only a mile or so from multiple subdivisions and some shopping plazas, so it is not really 'remote'. However, once you get there, you feel much further away from civilization. There is a small parking lot, from which you can access the trail / boardwalk. The main trail is a roughly one mile loop, but there is a spur that connects it with the parking area. Along this spur is a small building (which is blended into the landscape, making it hard to notice from the road) which has restrooms and a water fountain. The spur trail ends at a platform from which the loop trail exits in 2 directions. Both here and at various points along the boardwalk, there are a number of signs which provide educational explanations about the area's wildlife. This is presented so as to be easy to understand from about mid-elementary school and up. Around at the far side of the loop is another larger platform which features an observation deck about 20 fee up. The boardwalk is level, but it is weathered in some spots and there is an occasional screw-head that sticks up above the wood, so exercise a bit of care during your walk. There are no trees or shade on the loop, other than at the 2 platforms, so bring water and a hat if you are here in the summertime. This is a good spot if you have kids along who are old enough to read the signs and who enjoy nature.

    Nice walk. Take sunscreen and maybe some lunch/snacks, if you have little ones. My kiddo needed…read morebreaks by the second half. From the tower, you can see the city in the distance. Lots of information boards and educational posters. To see wildlife, you really have to look! At first glance, looks empty but truly full of living creatures. Birds hiding in the tall grass and making beautiful calls, frogs croaking in the distance, and movement in the "puddles". Beautiful views of the mountain.
