St. George's Paved Trails: Biking, E-Biking, and Walking
St. George has one of the best paved trail systems in the Southwest — over 60 miles of smooth, mostly flat asphalt paths that wind along rivers and washes through town. It's perfect for road biking, e-biking, running, walking, and strollers.
The backbone: the Virgin River Trail
- A roughly 15-mile paved path following the Virgin River through the St. George area
- Flat and scenic (about a 0.2% average grade) — ideal for casual riders and e-bikes
- Connects parks, neighborhoods, and other trails in the network
Other popular paths
- The Santa Clara River Trail and connectors reaching toward Ivins and Santa Clara
- Spurs into Bloomington, Washington, and the Fort Pearce Wash
- Many segments link up, so you can ride for miles without leaving pavement
Tips
- E-bikes are welcome and hugely popular here — several shops in town rent them
- Bring water and sun protection; shade is limited
- Go early in summer; the pavement radiates heat by midday
- Trails are shared — call out when passing walkers
An easy, low-stress way to enjoy the scenery without any dirt or climbing.
