Pineview Loop Pathway

The Pineview Loop Pathway (PLP) is a non-motorized trail planned to encircle Pineview Reservoir in the Upper Ogden Valley of Weber County, Utah. When complete, the trail will be 16 miles in length and will provide a safe route for students, residents, families, recreationists, and tourists walking or cycling to school, to the local library, to restaurants and shops in Huntsville and Eden, and to a wealth of camping, picnicking, boating, fishing, and other recreation spots along the trail. As of 2011, Weber Pathways and its partners have completed approximately 5 miles of this trail and are working to complete the remaining 11 miles.

Weber Pathways is partnering with Weber County and the U.S. Forest Service to complete this trail. Weber County is providing its right of way over most of the northern and eastern section of the loop and is the project manager for design and construction. The U.S. Forest Service is working with Weber Pathways to complete the necessary analyses and acquire associated permits to secure the corridor through Forest Service land. In addition, the Forest Service is providing materials for trail and trailhead construction.

Geertsen Bay is the most recently finished portion of the the PLP.  It completes a missing piece of the PLP that runs along 1900 N where it crosses over Geertsen Bay in Pineview Reservoir.  Many thanks to Weber County for managing this project.  Major funding came from Ogden Valley Pathways, Weber County and the Utah Division of Parks and Recreation.

The Pineview Loop Pathway was a project championed by Ogden Valley Pathways (OVP) between 2005 and 2009. This non-profit trail group created important momentum by acquiring funding to build the first sections of the trail. OVP broadened its mission and became the Community Foundation of Ogden Valley in 2009/2010. This new organization has continued to provide support for the project.

In 2011, the Board of Weber Pathways has ranked the PLP as the organization’s top priority.
