Ogden Valley

Pineview Reservoir

The reservoir in the middle of Ogden Valley, up the canyon from Ogden: beaches and ramps in summer, ice in a normal winter, and this fall drawn almost empty while Ogden City lays a pipeline across its bed.

Nearest to Huntsville.

Ice fishing Pineview, and why this winter is a question.

In the two winters the DWR logged, Pineview had no ice in mid December, walkable ice by the end of the month, 12 to 16 inches by late February, and open water again in the first week of April. This year the reservoir was drawn almost empty for a pipeline, so treat the calendar as history and the ice as unknown until you drill it.

The Pineview loop ride: what's path, what's road.

There is a paved path along part of Pineview and a highway around the rest. Weber County's plan calls for a 16-mile loop around the reservoir; when the county wrote it, 7.5 miles of paved path existed, ending at 7800 East and 100 South in Huntsville, and Trailforks lists the paved Pineview Loop Path at 5.8 miles with 80 feet of climbing. Everywhere else you share SR-39 and SR-158 with the traffic, and UDOT calls Ogden Canyon unsafe to ride.
