Shadow Lake Trail in Park City provides a very scenic biking experience to cruise along. There are many fantastic biking opportunities in this high-altitude alpine area. You can ride the Shadow Lake loop trail either direction. It just depends on if you want to be adventurous and take the slope on John's trail up or down. Or you can take a much smoother trail if you aren't feeling up for a more challenging and strenuous ride. The Shadow Lake Trail connects to Cornstock Mine Road on both ends and encircles Shadow Lake.
