The new section starts at the north end by the Davis County fair grounds. Before this section was open, when you arrived at the fair grounds you had to take the Farmington Creek trail over to the Legacy Parkway trail. Now you can continue to the south on a long, straight, newly paved trail.
Here is a picture of where the rail trail connected into the creek trail. The image on google maps has not been updated, but now it is paved to the south.
Here is a picture of the beginning of the new section. (Looking south)
On the south end, the trail drops you out on to the Legacy Parkway trail. It is at the location where you have to make two 90 degree turns. Now it is a straight shot to the North. Yes, you can still go over to the Legacy Parkway trail if you don't like riding in a straight line for several miles.
Here is a picture of the new trail. This is taken from the existing trail looking to the North.
The good news is that if you get out and ride this new, long straight, section, can set some records on Strava. http://www.strava.com/dashboard. For a while I held the title of the 5th fastest rider on one section of the new trail. It didn't take long to be bumped down to my rightful place at the bottom once everyone else started riding the new section of trail.
Get out and ride.
