• Sitting along the east bench of the Wasatch Mountains, Fruit Heights has numerous connected walking and biking trails, including the scenic Bonneville Shoreline Trail. Their trails are a great source of community pride and are regularly used by the local high school for cross-country meets and mountain biking competitions. Fruit Heights even organized a trail day where residents came together to clear deadfall and debris from along the Gailey Trail at Nicholls Park. Over 200 volunteers assembled to improve over 1.5 miles of trail.  The city also organized a health coalition that works to promote health, safety, and community programming and works in tandem with the Davis County Health Department.
