American Fork

by Kristin Buta

American Fork is popular for its outdoor trails, biking, hiking and outdoor recreational opportunities. You can find many of the parks (there are 27 within the city limits!) alive with activities such as co-ed adult kickball, pickleball, ultimate frisbee, flag football, fall soccer, youth basketball, and much more!

From the American Fork Boat Harbor at Utah Lake with its 800 tons of soft sand, to Timpanogos Cave National Monument and the Alpine Scenic Loop located in the lovely American Fork Canyon, this city is perfect for the nature lover.

Want your nature a little more organized? Try the well-loved and beautifully manicured Fox Hollow Golf Course.
