| Description: | Traversing the Provo terrace of Lake Bonneville, this trail takes you past a historical horse corral. Past the corral the trail makes a dramatic descent into Split Rock Bay and loops back up to an overlook. The trail to the horse corrals is moderate and is a "must see" stop. Steep switchbacks and long climbs make the remainder of the trail most challenging. Big horn sheep and mule deer are seen on occasion. | ||

| Distance: | 9.2 miles round trip | Rating: | Easy to Moderate |
| Elevation: | Total Ascent: | 710 feet | |
| Trailhead: | |||
| Description: | The heart of the trail system. Traveling south the trail meanders along the west shore and gradually climbs to a ridge 710 feet above the trailhead. The trail is relatively easy but has long ascents, descents, and is sandy in places. Excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. | ||
