Kays Creek Parkway: Layton





Family friendly trail! This is a community walkway in what appears to be a nature preserve area.One of many sections that Layton is developing, the path is paved and from the Adam J. Walker trailhead (Center trailhead) you can head either east to the Oak Forest trailhead, or the Canyon View trailhead. There is also a west trailhead that is unnamed (1450 E. access). From the Adam Walker trailhead it is .75 mile to either trailhead. A scout put up nice fauna markers along the trails with detailed descriptions of the animals in the area. My boys jumped off the trail, down into Kays Creek, (small and winding)and spent the afternoon with boy toys: rocks, water, sticks, mud, reeds. The trail is flat heading west and gains 200' heading east to the Oak Forest Access. Bird song was profuse! Dogs allowed on a leash. The greenery is filled in nicely and we had a great afternoon in a nature retreat around Hobbs reservoire which provides Kays Creek irrigation. The area feels secluded but sits right in the middle of a residential area.
