Runners and cyclists are more likely to spot a trail when they are just driving by. Just north of the Pilot, (The truckstop used to be a Flying J. I cannot figure out their branding strategy, but it is a Pilot now.) I have noticed a pedestrian bridge for a few years, and have wanted to check out the trails.
As you leave the Pilot, run north up the frontage road. A good sidewalk runs along the street on one side. Look for a sign that says "Bike path to trails" where the road makes a right turn.
The trails break off from one-another, giving a great chance to explore. The city's website has a PDF of all the trails, and how they connect. All the ones I ran on were six to eight feet wide, asphalt, and great for cycling or running. One trail looks like it goes to the top of the bluff overlooking St George.
I got in seven miles in 68:23 while the sun was coming up.
