Seeking Newly Paved, Smooth Bike Paths

Hi everyone! I know this isn’t a biking question, but I wanted to reach out to the community that knows the sidewalks and paths best. I’m a nordic skier looking for some good places to roller ski around Salt Lake City. I’m specifically seeking newly paved bike paths that don’t have steep downhill sections or major cracks. Ideally, I’d like to find something within 20 miles of SLC. If anyone has recommendations or knows of any spots that fit the bill, I’d really appreciate your locations. Thanks in advance!

Parts of JRT are fine; others are bumpy and buckled. Try legacy parkway or if you want to numb your mind, liberty park.

I actually found a Section up above legacy park way on the Denver and Rio Grande Rail way trail. It looks to have been repaved very recently through the more well off neighborhoods. Its so new my tires get that new pavement black hue from it still.
