Each of the four abstract sculptures (Cascade, Cog, Spurt, and Trough) found on the McClelland Trail have gear-like qualities referencing the early engineering and rudimentary tools used to create the original canal. Water has been flowing through the Jordan and Salt Lake City Canal for over 100 years, reaching various pockets of Salt Lake City.

The McClelland Trail runs between 1100 East and 1200 East, between Harrison Avenue and Milton Avenue (1370 South – 1595 South)
