Deer Ridge Off-Leash Dog Trailhead

Deer Ridge Off-Leash Dog Trailhead is a popular outdoor recreation area located in the foothills above Draper, Utah, offering trails and recreational opportunities for hikers, mountain bikers, and dog owners. The trailhead serves as a gateway to the off-leash dog area, Eagle Crest trail, Telegraph trail, and nearby Maple Hollow trail and park, with amenities added in October 2023 including 44 paved parking stalls, two year-round restrooms with running water, and two picnic pavilions. The area is particularly known for the Alien Tower hike, a family-friendly trail that leads to a distinctive radio tower structure offering panoramic views of both the Salt Lake Valley and Utah Valley.
