The Bonneville Shoreline Trail is an easy, out-and-back hike in northern Utah, about 0.3 miles from the community of Harvey Farm Estates. The route is roughly 1.7 miles long, with a one-way elevation gain of 195 feet, and it starts and ends at nearly the same point, making it a short outing for a walk close to town. The most comfortable months to go are typically May and September. A nearby weather station records typical average highs of about 70°F in May and 79°F in September. July is the hottest month, with typical highs around 91°F, while winter brings regular snow days from December through February. Several other trails sit within half a mile, including the Fruit Heights Upper Terrace Trail and Shepard Creek Trail.
