Farmington Pond, and the eleven trails on the hill above it.

At the mouth of Farmington Canyon, above the east side of town, and two issuing bodies publish two different addresses for it. Farmington City's parks directory lists Farmington Pond Park at 750 North 75 West. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources lists Farmington Pond at 611 Farmington Creek Trail, Farmington. Both are printed here rather than one being silently chosen. From Farmington City Hall at 160 South Main it is roughly one to one and a half miles and four to six minutes, climbing the whole way.

Yes. It is an official Utah Division of Wildlife Resources community fishery, part of a state program the division describes as water one can walk, bike or bus to, then catch a fish or two. Farmington City publishes a fishing dock, restrooms, picnic tables and paved parking at the park. This page does not print a bag limit, a species list or a pond acreage, because none of those could be confirmed in the division's own guidebook and the figures circulating come from angling websites. Read the rules and the stocking report at the Division of Wildlife Resources before you go.

A mountain bike park run by Farmington City on the bench above Farmington Pond. The city's parks directory names the access as the upper Farmington Pond lot or the Fire Break Road access, and publishes the trail breakdown as four easy, four medium, one difficult and two very difficult, which is eleven marked trails. The city also publishes the rule that matters most: downhill trails are for bike use only and are directional, so the descending routes are not shared with walkers or with climbing riders. Take the current grading and the signage from the city and from the trailhead.

It depends entirely on the season and no issuing body publishes a current opening date. What is established is that the road is not plowed in winter and that the gate sits just above the Farmington Pond parking lot, which is why the gate's location is on this page at all. The 1 June date that circulates traces back to a 2013 newspaper quotation and there is no current Forest Service or city date behind it. Take the road's status and everything above the Francis Peak junction from the Davis County canyons page and from the Forest Service.

Not Sunset Campground, which was decommissioned in 2018. That matters because this site's own practical city guide still lists it twice as a current destination in this canyon, once at a stated distance of 3.5 miles and again in a list of campgrounds alongside Bountiful Peak. Anyone planning to camp in this canyon should confirm current facility status with the Forest Service before driving up, particularly given that the road above the pond is gated for a substantial part of the year.

Not an open fire between 1 June and 31 October. Farmington City's parks page states that open fires are strictly prohibited at Farmington Pond Park from 1 June to 31 October annually, and applies the same restriction to Woodland Park at 300 South 200 East. That is a wildland interface rule for a town with canyons directly above it, and it sits alongside the city's fireworks restrictions, which prohibit discharge east of a red line on the city's map and in city parks unless specifically designated. Check the current restrictions with the city each summer.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources lists four in the county. Alongside Farmington Pond there is Bountiful Lake at 1275 West 1600 North in Woods Cross, the Kaysville Ponds at 702 South 50 West in Kaysville, and the Utah State University Botanical Center and Davis County 4-H water at 920 South 50 West, also in Kaysville. Note the two corrections in that list: the pond commonly called Bountiful Pond has its state published address in Woods Cross, and the Botanical Center is a Kaysville facility rather than a Farmington one.

Yes, in three forms, and all of them come from the city rather than from a trail app. Farmington City publishes a 2023 Trails Book, sold at City Hall for twenty dollars in physical form and available as a free download, a Master Trails Map and Chart available at City Hall, and a mobile application built on ArcGIS Field Maps that carries trail, historic site and park information. The city's trails page describes numbered trails aligned to that master map. It does not publish a citywide trail mileage or a list of individual trail names online, so this page does not carry either.

About one to one and a half miles, four to six minutes to drive, and the whole route climbs. City Hall is at 160 South Main Street in the National Register district on the valley floor, and the pond sits up on the bench at the canyon mouth. That short distance covers a real change in setting: the fireworks restriction line, the seasonal fire ban and the canyon wind all belong to the upper half of that drive, which is worth knowing when comparing an address in the old core with one on the bench.
