Spanish Fork combines riverside scenery, culture and sports, with several clearly identified places and events. Spanish Fork City has built a seven-mile paved trail along the Spanish Fork River. The River Trail provides access to the distinctive surroundings of the River Bottoms.

Riverside Scenery and Outdoor Places

The trail’s length and paved surface are useful points of reference; the River Trail is linked to access to the River Bottoms area. There is a small playground at Mountain Country Pavilion, and a reservoir is nearby. These location details offer different options for spending time outdoors.

Culture and Events

Fiesta Days is an annual event and takes place during the week around July 24. Wings & Wheels takes place at Spanish Fork Airport and features classic cars and airplanes. The Festival of Lights is a drive-through display of festive Christmas lights at Canyon View Park. Check event dates before traveling if you have specific plans to attend.
